My experience with Dr. Fontenot and Weiler Plastics Surgery was nothing short of wonderful. I recently received the sweet elixir of eternal youth, Botox from their office. Dr. Fontenot’s staff were like beauty ninjas. I had my injections and was out the door before I could say "cheese without creasing". The procedure was a piece of cake and
I am very happy with the results.
Dr Bennett was recommended to me by two other plastic surgeons. Best decision I ever made. I was nervous about having surgery until I met him and his amazing staff! I couldn’t be happier with my results. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, do yourself a favor and just go meet and talk to him, I promise you will not regret it.
Dr. Fontenot and his staff took the best care of me and I will be using them again. The minute you walk into his office, you immediately feel welcomed and know you will be well taken care of. Dr. Fontenot spent a ton of time with me talking me through the procedure and making me feel comfortable. The results were better than I hoped for. I would highly recommend them for anything you need.
