What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Fenton was kind, courteous and took alot of time with me. I tried to be understanding before it was my turn, realizing I would want the same courtesy. He was knowledgeable, asked tons of questions, listened intently and showed me pictures of my tests I had done. He favored me getting a 2nd opinion if I wanted one but he gave me no reason to seek a 2nd opinion. He was very thorough and went over the tests he was ordering for me and why. He explained what knowledge he would get from each test. Based on the tests, he would proceed to diagnose and come up with a treatment plan. Dr. Fenton was great. He gained my trust. His office help was very nice also and very friendly. Overall, I was totally satisfied and confident I would receive great treatment.
