Dr. Fontan was great. He was very attentive and listened carefully to my concerns. I felt very comfortable talking to him.

Very caring and adept therapist - had good tools for dealing with life events and issues.
Dr Fontan was nice and very easy to talk to he made me feel comfortable and relaxed
First visit was great. Hoping to continue on this path the rest of the way.
He's very nice and thoughtful and has plenty of great insights.
He ignored my texted and never responded for a follow up.
Verified patient
Really good experience. Looking forward to my next visit.
Verified patient
He was very professional, considerate, and understanding.
Verified patient
I found Dr. Fontan had a very results-oriented approach that focuses on resolving my current problems, which I really appreciate and liked better than both CBT and the Freudian/subconscious stuff.
Efficient and knowkedgable
Verified patient
Dr. Fontan was absolutely fantastic. After one appointment I already felt more optimistic and having a plan of attack- even knowing it will take a lot of hard work- is very motivating in and of itself.
Great experience, Dr. Fontan was interesting, helpful, attentive and informative. I highly recommend and can't wait for my next appointment!
It was only our first visit, but Dr. Fontan showed a pleasant temperment, and made me feel comfortable. We were able to have a session and prepare my paperwork, and I left feeling good about the meeting.
Great insight with the issues I brought in. Overall, the experience was excellent, if I ever have problems again I will make my appointments with Dr. Fontan.

Although this was the first visit, it felt very rushed. Even though our time was "up" I had a significant amount of things I was hoping to discuss and was told that I'd have to wait until next time. This wasn't the greatest thing to hear from a therapist, and made me realize that this might not be the type of psychologist who would go above and beyond for his clients.
Good first visit, helped put some things into perspective. I am seeing him again so will leave another review at a later date.
Verified patient
Very good first visit.
Verified patient
My first experience with a therapist was with Dr. Fontan - overall a great experience. He made me feel comfortable right away and was a great listener, which I presume to be of utmost importance in a psychologist.
Dr. Fontana made me feel confortable on our first visit. He was understanding and I didn't feel judge. He put allot into perspective for me, and I feel confident in our treatment so far.
Verified patient
Dr. Fontan is a great psychologist and I feel very safe and satisfied under his care. He's the type to let you lead the conversation so if you do better with doctors who prompt you, you can certainly consider that. Regardless, Dr. Fontan provides a comfortable environment and is nothing short of professional. My only note is that ZocDoc originally brought me to him as a psychiatrist, which he is not. If you are searching for someone to help you with your medicine (as I was), he is not able to help you. However, he is a great resource and I would recommend him to both those experienced and inexperienced in navigating the world of psych professionals.

I had a very nice initial visit with Dr. Fontan. This was my first visit to a clinician as an adult so I was not entirely sure what to expect. Dr. Fontan was very organized in his session and we were able to discuss various topics as well as time for administrative things (payment, scheduling, etc.). I will continue to see him and am excited to do so. I appreciated his ability to open/close the session in a way that felt emotionally appropriate (for me). I was given a little bit of homework (which I appreciated and likely asked for). I appreciated his feedback and look forward more sessions. I would say that the counseling rooms were ok, simple, but the office space could use updating. But, he did mention that he is moving offices soon and perhaps there will be an upgrade there...who knows! Either way, I would recommend Dr. Fontan.
No wait to see the doctor, but not worth the visit regardless. Does not seem particularly interested in your concerns, half listens, picks out a single sentence from the entire session and uses that as a hook to guarantee another visit next week. Save your time. Certainly there are other psychologists.
Great. Easy to talk to and insightful. Talks to you rationally and tells you things you want/need to hear, instead of beating around the bush.
I found Dr. Fontan's manner a bit off-putting, to be honest. He seemed, if not confrontational, somewhat aggressive. I also found, in the sessions we had (three), he never once took a note, and much of the time seemed to be just repeating back to me what I said, without providing any further direction or asking the kind of questions you'd think a therapist would want to ask a new patient. I also found him to be both dismissive and condescending when I asked about his approach and talked about my past experiences with therapy. Perhaps he's good for a certain type, but I was neither confident in his abilities to be a good therapist nor comfortable with his personality.
Very good first visit. Understanding and accommodating. Got very focused on tackling problems in the very first session. Scheduled regular follow-ups.
Verified patient
Dr. Fontan is thoughtful, sensitive and always helps me to understand the root of an issue. He asks great questions and supports me as I think about how different issues connect and then take next steps to build a healthier life for myself. Highly recommend him!
Verified patient
A great doctor who really listens and cares.
Was okay.
Verified patient
Dr. Fontan seems to be a good listener and asks questions at right time. He asked thought provoking questions and I was happy with my conversation.
