List of Joseph Fountain's Reviews
Very pleased with medical care from Dr. Fountain for the past 6 plus years. Off staff extremely poor. Will no longer seek medical care from this office.
Although, he and his staff are very kind, I felt my medical concerns unimportant to him. It was usually, let's wait and see...No telemedicine. If I called to request a medication for a reoccurring sinus, migraine, I was told to make an appointment, after him not prescribing medication, I always had to go to urgent care.... Changed PCM after 2 years with him. He also likes to talk about himself a lot..
Dr. Fountain is a down to earth Dr. He ask questions from me and is very open to answering my questions. He DOES NOT BELIEVE IN HANDING OUT PAIN MEDS LIKE CANDY!!!!! I was a nurse for 26 years and absolutely do not believe in using opioid or any other meds to get high on. Most difficult and sad part of my job when I was a nurse was to give care to elderly patients addicted to narcotics. It broke my heart. There are instances where a person would need pain medication like post surgical or other injuries. I respect his stand on narcotic abuse. He is a very good Dr.
Ive been a patient for about a year and have nothing but good to say about this office and Dr. Fountain. The office is efficient and attentive to my needs. 5 star from me.
Dr Fountain is your average typical primary care Physician, but his office staff is unfriendly and disorganized. My husband and I have seen him for @ 4 years. When calling with questions, or illness, we have rarely received a timely call back. Messages are often lost requiring repeated phone calls to follow up. Staff is just not caring, not engaged.
Dr. Fountain and his medical assistant were rude and condescending. I returned to his practice after 2 years of travel nursing for a general physical. At the time I also had a headache. When I explained this, I was treated like a leper. I was informed that the office would not be closed down because of me. I was given an order for a covid test even though I had no signs of covid and was refused a physical exam. My very elevated blood pressure was ignored and i was rapidly escorted out the door. A total waste of my time. I will never return to this practice.
He has been my doctor for years, but when I came down with covid 19, my insurance company sent him a fax asking for a projected return to work date.. He told the lady who handles insurance for his office that the he did not approve short term disability claims for covid, even though the claim was initiated by my company, and already approved by my insurance. Then he would not return my phone calls and even canceled an appointment I had made to see him because "there is nothing to discuss". All he had to do was let my insurance know an approximate return to work date and I would have been paid. He is arrogant. He should stick to medicine and let the professionals in the front office deal with insurance.
I like Dr Fountain and his staff. Anytime I need to see my Dr. They always get me in immediately. His staff is very professional and organized. They treat you like a family member. Dr. Fountain answers all my questions and gets to the problem and works on a solution. He will stay with you through all that you have going on til you are well and back to your life as soon as possible. I would definitely recommend Dr. Fountain if getting well is what your looking for.
I see Dr. Fountain in Milton, FL. He has an excellent rapport with me and always takes the time to listen to whatever questions or concerns I have at the time. I've never felt rushed and I trust his comments and advice. I would recommend Dr. Fountain to anyone.
My father is 91 years old with early stage Alzheimer’s and a few other problems that’s normal for the elderly. Each appointment I have taken him to has convinced me he likes healthy patients without real problems. Today I was discussing a concern I had about my dad’s health and possibly needing a piece of DME. I he did was complain about the paperwork Medicare requirements calls for. Looking for a new Dr.!
