Both my wife and I have been to Dr Fontes and have been very satisfied and impressed! He replaced my wife’s hip with great success! Both times I’ve been to him he has suggested other remedies other than surgery. So not a cut first guy! You can’t go wrong with Dr Fontes!

An Absolute 5-Star Experience!
My experience at Desert Orthopedic was exceptional from start to finish. If you are looking for top-tier orthopedic care, look no further. I would give them more than five stars if I could!
The moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and highly efficient. The check-in and scheduling process was seamless, reflecting the overall great service provided by the entire team. They genuinely care about making the patient experience comfortable and stress-free.
What truly sets Desert Orthopedic apart is the level of care and attention from the doctors. They are not only experts in their field but are also fantastic communicators. My doctor took the time needed—without ever making me feel rushed—to thoroughly explain my issues, diagnosis, and every step of the proposed treatment plan. Knowing exactly what was going on and why made a massive difference in my confidence and peace of mind.
I highly recommend Desert Orthopedic for anyone needing specialized care. They combine great service, great staff, and truly dedicated doctors.
