I came to see Dr. Fontaine when a friend referred me to the Moffitt cancer center a few years ago and I cant thank her enough, everything went very smoothly from diagnosis to operation and I can happily say I am 100% cancer free now

Great doctor - knowledgeable and empathetic. I was treated for esophageal cancer about a year ago and he used a robot primarily for this procedure.

Dr. Fontaine provided exceptional care and his team at the Moffitt Cancer Center were first class. We were very anxious about our visit and he put us at ease and gave us all the information we needed to move forward with the procedure and now, month later I am cancer free and feeling better than I have in years

I made poor lifestyle choices for a long time and that lead me to needing Dr. Fontaine in the first place, but he and his team were very helpful and gave me a new lease on life and helped me claim not just my life back but my well being back as well. I make much better choices and I can't thank them enough for their care

I highly recommend Dr Fontaine and his surgical team. He is truly an expert at the top of his game. I am in my 30s and athletic and couldn’t understand why I would cough every time I exercised. It took months for my doctor to figure it out. I was found to have a small tumor in my airway called a carcinoid tumor. It was small and localized and the best treated would be to remove it with surgery. I was initially referred to a surgeon who told me he would need to remove my entire right lung in order to remove it. I was taken aback. My life would radicall change. I panicked. I decided to do some research and came across Moffitt Cancer Center and Dr Fontaine. I am so glad I decided to see Dr Fontaine for a second opinion. He explained things in detail and inspired confidence from out very first visit. He explained that he could remove the small tumor in my airway without removing my entire lung by « tailoring » my airway. Dr Fontaine successfully performed my surgery using the robot

I took my dad for lung cancer, I think Dr. Fontaine and his crew with PA Joe are the best, rarely for you find such attention to detail to match such a wonderful bedside manner, I recommend anyone needing thoracic surgery to not hesitate to use this team.

Excellent surgeon. From the valet parking your car, to the X-ray techs and nurses to the Dr Fontaine and his team, everyone at Moffitt Cancer Center was top-notch. I would not go anywhere else for cancer care.

I was diagnosed at a Florida east coast hospital with Stage 2 lung caner and advised I would require surgery once the diagnosis was confirmed. I waited 6 weeks for test results and was to wait 6 more weeks for one more test. I switched to Dr. Fontaine at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. He removed the cancerous lung lobe the next week and three days later I was out of the hospital.
Dr. Fontaine was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. I give him my highest recommendation.

Dr. Fontaine is very knowledgeable. He is truly an expert in his field and was able to explain my options very clearly. He inspires confidence and has excellent bedside manners. My robotic lung cancer surgery went very well. I was very impressed by Dr Fontaine and all the members of his team. Now I know why he is rated as #1 in Tampa Bay. A big thank you!

Dr. Fontaine is a life saver! He can explain the intricate technical aspects of a major operation while sensing and addressing the emotional needs of family and friends. I visited several other nationally-recognized surgeons and chose Dr. Fontaine because of his highly-regarded skill, excellent post-operative care, and the wonderful sense of ease that he cultivated. Exceeding his fantastic reputation, his bedside manner was warm, his post-op care thorough, and his technical skill impeccable.

My Husband Anton Zeman had surgery by Dr Fontaine for esophageal cancer almost two years ago at age 84. He is doing outstandingly well . After being treated with chemo and radiation his cancer had returned surgery was then recommended his surgery went very well. At this time he is still cancer free. We were blest to find this excellent surgeon. We are so grateful. Thank you Dr Fontaine

Dr. Fontaine is a great surgeon! He and his staff (especially Joe Garrett), provide outstanding care to their patients. I am so fortunate that I had Dr. Fontaine as my surgeon and the Moffitt team for my post-operative care.
