Patient Reviews
May 09, 2019
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Fant. He is caring, patient and a brilliant physician. He takes a lot of time with his patients. You don't feel rushed at all. He encourages conversation, and is very attentive to your concerns. The wait time is very reasonable, usually no more than15 minutes. As much as I hate going to the doctor, I look forward to my visits with Dr. Fant because I enjoy talking with him and I know he will give me the best of care.
