Patient Stories From Boulder County
I live in Boulder and it is well worth the drive. Oftentimes I can be seen in Boulder or in Broomfield so that his patients do not have to travel so far.
I was nervous about prior to my consult with Dr. Fante, but the manner in which he addressed my concerns and many questions, as well as his years of experience put me so at ease. From my consultation to my follow up appointment I felt total trust in Dr. Fante. He is kind, matter-of-fact, professional, knowledgeable and skilled. The office staff are great — supportive and patient answering all my questions. I will come back for future face care needs. Thank you!
Addendum: so I did come back for future face care months later. Once again, I was and am very impressed with Dr. Fante’s skill compassion, and integrity. I had some problems post surgery with my body reacting to the sutures. Dr. Fante and his staff were the best at helping me with my numerous repeat visits to handle the issue. I highly recommend Dr. Fante.
My surgeon, Dr. Fante, was great. Lynn, the surgical coordinator, was organized and gave me all of the information I needed in a timely fashion. The whole office is very professional. It is clean and accommodating. When I had questions, I was put through to the nurse or someone returned my call in a timely fashion. Bottom line, I felt confident in my surgeon and in my experience. I will return as needed.
