Patient Reviews
Jul 23, 2020
I also do not understand the negative reviews. I have been a patient of Dr. Fontanares for about 15 + years. I always go for the annual exam, I do not have children so I have not had to use her for baby delivery/care. She has always been very pleasant and personable with me. I only have positive things to say about her.
