My friend recommended Dr Steven Fontana for my 92 year old mom. She had to have 4 extractions done all at once. The receptionist was super nice, I can't say enough about Jennifer and Jaylin. They both held one hand during the procedure. My mother was extremely afraid. So nervous that she cried in their restroom but as soon as she met these girls, she felt at peace. The doctor, oh my, he was incredible. He took the time to explain everything to us, spoke to Mom's dentist and made the procedure a breeze for her. She wanted to hug him before she left. I was incredibly impressed that the doctor himself called us that same night to see how she was doing. I highly, highly recommend him and his beautiful and professional staff. We were very lucky to have found him! read more

Dr Fontana provided exceptional care to my 93yr old mother, removing the remaining root of a broken tooth under local anesthesia. Excellent bedside manners before and after the procedure. Staff were professional, friendly and attentive. Explained the procedure, provided understandable instructions verbally and in writing, and took the time to answered questions. Dr Fontana personally called to check up on how my mother was doing that evening following the procedure. Follow-up appointment was included in the cost of the oral surgery. My mother experienced no complications and is healing well. I highly recommend Dr Fontana and his staff. read more

Dr. Fontana and the entire dental team exceeded my expectations. I needed a quick appointment on short notice, and they were able to fit me in promptly without making me feel rushed. From check-in to check-out the staff were professional, friendly, and efficient. Dr. Fontana listened carefully to my concerns, explained my options clearly, and performed the care confidently. The office was clean, welcoming, and well-organized, and I appreciated that they respected my time by staying on schedule. I felt comfortable throughout the visit and confident in the treatment plan Dr. Fontana recommended. Highly recommend this practice for anyone needing responsive, compassionate, and skilled dental care. read more

Dr Fontana and his staff are a great team. They took care of my two extractions quickly and kept me well informed through the entire process. Dr Fontana explained the pros and cons of my options and I was able to easily make informed decisions. I highly recommend their practice. read more

Amazing staff and personable doctor. The doctor called me the night of my procedure to make sure I was doing ok. They're prompt and very kind. I have recommended several people here! read more

My experience with Dr. Fontana, and Office Staff was above five stars. His knowledge, surgical skill, medical explanations, and all around demeanor made me feel confident and safe in his diagnosis. Not only did he solve and basically fix my problem, but had an competent overall plan in how to follow up from this time forward, if the problem ever arises again. His staff is exemplary, kind, organized and all about the patient... This Office should be a model for ALL others! ...and I'm speaking from my previous 35 years working experience in the Medical Field. Five Stars+ and Thank You Again! read more

I would recommend Dr. Fontana if you are looking for a very competent oral surgeon. In addition, his support staff appeared well trained, polite and welcoming. Dr. Fontana makes sure that you understand the total costs and options available to you for each procedure before he begins the operation. I had two large wisdom teeth removed at the same time. He was very efficient and gave clear instructions for a great recovery. He also personally followed up with me a few days after the operation by telephone. This task is usually relegated to an Asst., so I was impressed that he cared enough to do it personally. read more

Our son had his wisdom teeth pulled by Dr Fontana. He and his staff were kind, knowledgeable and responsive. The surgery was completed faster than expected (less than half the time expected) and my son didn't need any prescription pain meds afterwards. The instructions for post surgery care were excellent... My son did not have anesthesia, but instead Novacaine and gas. It went so well, in fact, he wanted to go to school the next day! At his two week follow up, our experience was again terrific. Everyone was kind, responsive and knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Fontana and his staff are top notch! Thank you so much for taking care of my 11 year old son. They put his little mind at ease when he needed extractions done for ortho. Jennifer and Jailyn were on point. I highly recommend Dr. Fontana and staff! read more

I was referred to Dr. Fontana by my general dentist. I had a tooth to break under the gum line. Dr. Fontana and his office staff made me feel very comfortable from the minute I walked in the door. Dr. Fontana was able to very gently wiggle the tooth loose with absolutely no pain or discomfort. There was no soreness or pain in the days/weeks following the extraction. I returned today for a followup and the gums are healing beautifully. I would highly recommend this practice. read more

Very bad experience. To add receptionist was not pleasant and not interested in helping. To make the long story short I had an appointment for a consultation. Previously had many x-rays done at my general dentist with a CT. Was never told to bring the CT with me even though they were told I have one when I was booking the apt. They wanted to charge me for X-rays I already just recently did. I offered to go pick the CT up and reschedule the appointment and the lovely receptionist who is given way to much power told me I need to go find another oral surgeon because they are not a right fit for me. This was by far one of the most negative customer service experiences I have ever received at a medical facility. read more

My teenage son woke up in pain with an impacted wisdom tooth. Dr Fontana was able to see him the next day and removed all four wisdom teeth. We were so grateful for the speed of which he was taken care of. we highly recommend! read more

2 son's had surgery!!!! He is the very Best!!! Double boarded MD and DDS Excellent! Gentle! Staff is excellent!!! We are taking our 3rd son to him for surgery!!! read more

My office experience was -1 star. I cannot rate the Doctor as I was denied three requests to speak to him. I can speak to Dr Fontana's inability to train his front desk staff with the basics customer care skills and fortify them with PHI knowledge; that rating is 0 stars. The three staff that witnessed the bully at the front desk also should get more training on intervening when a co worker gets on a power trip at the expense of a new client. ( Note: my services for this day would have been $1,300 plus an implant fron start to finish=$10,000? ). Who lets a receptionist kick out $13,000 in revenue? I had a 45 second conversation with the front desk receptionist person as I checked in 10 minutes ahead of my appointment. AUTUMN was her name on her uniform. This female was sincerely was on a power trip, lacked any customer service or PHI & HIPPA terminology and never offered me a written copy of my privacy rights. Furthermore, this appointment was scheduled and was considered medically necessary and it's shocking that this NON medical person named Autumn denied me the medical attention. A receptionist cancelling medical apointment like she was unfriending someone on social media. Gulfshore Oral Surgery Wild West behavior is shocking. I'd not recomend anyone who wants to be treated with dignity go here. Note, it's been 8 hrs since the the receptionist who made medical decisions for Dr Fontana bullied me and then called my general dentist and tried spin a web of lies, stating that I was beligerant. Autumn is a poor employee on a massive power trip, controlling a lot of revenue for Dr Fontana, wonder if he knows she kicked $13,000 out of his office this morning. He does now and that is sad. I expected a call from a Practice Manager and/ or Dr Fontana with some type of apology, it didn't happen so here is my review. Avoid this experience if possible. read more

My fiancé went here to get his wisdom teeth out and they did a phenomenal job! No complications. The entire staff was great and the surgery was seamless! Thank you :) read more

I was referred by my regular Dentist to Dr. Fontana and had a very difficult extraction done within an hour by Dr. Fontana--Dr. Fontana and staff could not have been more professional and compassionate, he even called me early evening to ask how I was feeling. I also had two follow up visits to check on the healing process. Very impressed. read more

Dr. Fontana and his staff were absolutely amazing. They removed my two wisdom teeth the same day I arrived for my consultation. The procedure was pain free and recovery was amazing. I would recommend to anyone!! read more

Dr. Fontana and his staff are terrific! Very caring, very pleasant, very thorough. Highly recommended! The only reason this review isn't 5 stars is they didn't take my dental insurance and didn't divulge that until after the fact; so I had to pay out-of-pocket. That said, Dr. Fontana really cares about his patients which was exemplified by his unsolicited follow-up call to me, just to see how I was doing after having two molars removed. read more

During covid19 I had an intense pain in my mouth and Dr Fontana was able to see me right away and removed two wisdom teeth. Him and the staff were extremely caring and considering how much pain I was in my recovery was so quick. No swelling or any issue eating after a day. Thank you for taking care of me last minute and making it all an easy process!! read more

I put off I having my wisdom tooth pulled for two years because I was so scared - I'd had a bad experience having a wisdom tooth taken out previously and never wanted to do it again. I went for a consultation with Dr. Fontana with every excuse already planned for why I wasn't going to go ahead with it but was immediately taken by the professionalism and state of the art technology at his office. They also offer a wide range of pain management options. On the day of the procedure I experienced no pain and following some initial soreness, everything healed quickly with no issues whatsoever. I hope I never need to have another tooth pulled, but if I do I know who I'm going to call. read more

Dr. Fontana and his staff were amazing from start to finish. Everything was explained in detail pre and post operation. Prices were very affordable for the area, and the level of care exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Gulfshore Oral Surgery. read more

I can't say anything negative about Dr Fontana because I was never able to actually see the surgeon. I made an appointment for the consultation for my my daughter and had her step father take her. I was not told that a legal parent had to be present for the consultation. When I called to question why they would not be able to see her for a consultation or why they do not make this protocol known to parents during the appointment process, I was told to call the dentist back to find another provider as they were not a good fit. Yes, you are definitely not a good fit. A little more professionalism and customer service is necessary in my opinion. read more

Dr. Fontana and his staff provided me with very professional and attentive care. I am extremely impressed by his staff and his work. I have absolutely no complaints about this establishment. As the owner of the Watermark Grille I am very observational and there was not one issue or problem I had with Dr. Fontana. While getting my wisdom teeth removed I had asked him when he was going to pull out the other tooth and to my amaze, he had already taken it out. It was completely painless and I recovered in that same day. Fifteen years before I had gone to a different dentist for the same procedure and my face was black and blue, and needed to take a week off because of it. Dr. Fontana and their staff should be extremely proud of themselves, as am I. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. read more

Our teenage son had all four wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Fontana was very knowledgeable and explained the risks involved. He also covered different options as far as anesthesia. The procedure was completed without any issues. The recovery and healing process went remarkably well, with our son experiencing little to no pain or swelling. This was surprising, as we had heard some horror stories from parents whose children had used other oral surgeons in town. The whole experience could not have been better. The office staff was very friendly and accommodating with appointments. We plan to use Dr. Fontana when our other son has his wisdom teeth removed. Highly recommend!!! read more

Outstanding staff who greet you with a smile and are as professional beyond expectations. Dr. Fontana was caring, and exceeded my expectations as both a dentist and surgeon. This was the best doctor patient experience I have experienced in my 70 years as a patient. Called after surgery to check on me and follow-up was excellent. They are the Best in the Business! read more

I visited Dr Fontana's office to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. This was my first oral surgery of any kind and I am blown away by the professionalism and kindness of the team at Gulfshore Oral Surgery. From consultation to surgery to follow ups... everything went so smoothly. Even the surgery itself... I was quite anxious the morning of, and the doctor and his staff talked me through the entire procedure, I felt well-taken care of and understood. Dr Fontana is an extremely talented oral surgeon as well, I did not have any extreme swelling or pain. It was a perfect experience. I can not recommend Gulfshore Oral Surgery enough!!!! If you need oral surgery of any kind... go here. Trust me. read more

Our son had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Fontana. From the first phone call to schedule the appointment the staff were extremely friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable. During the consultation Dr. Fontana was very thorough in his evaluation and explaining the treatment procedure. Various options for sedation were offered. Ultimately our son felt so comfortable that he chose to have his wisdom teeth taken out with no sedation, just local anesthetic. The entire procedure was completed very efficiently with no complications. Our son commented that he was surprised that he did not feel a thing during the procedure. The extraction sites healed rapidly with no complications. We would highly recommend Dr. Fontana and his staff for any Oral Surgery procedures. We are very impressed with his expertise and his staff's professional care. read more

Dr.Fontana and his team are outstanding. They are so kind and patient. He called me after work hours to check on how I was doing post operation. I recommend! read more

Absolutely wonderful! Never have I had any oral/dental procedures done that I felt completely comfortable with. I went in for two wisdom teeth and one molar removal and everything came out wonderful! They called me to check up on me a couple of times as well as Dr. Fontana himself. Whenever I had questions, they answered them perfectly or returned my calls right away! The office is cozy and super clean. The staff are out of this world! So sweet and thorough. If I can five them over 5 stars, I would. Thank you so much Gufshore Oral Surgery! read more

I want to comment on my experience today at the oral surgery office of Dr. Steven Fontana. I am in Naples on vacation and experienced a terrible toothache. I was able to get a referral to this office - and although they were totally booked, they were able to accommodate me and get me in. Kathy the scheduling coordinator could not have been more gracious. Katie was so reassuring as the treatment coordinator and pretty much held my hand through the entire process. Dr. Fontana was amazing! I never felt one iota of pain with this complicated extraction. I would heartily endorse this practice. Their commitment to exquisite customer service coupled with technical and clinical professionalism was outstanding. I would highly recommend this office. And by the way - as a retired dentist I know a quality practice when I see it!! read more

Dr. Fontana and his staff are excellent. They are very thorough and pleasant from the moment you step into the door. The staff is extremely organized and efficient. I only waited about 5 minutes. I went to get 2 teeth pulled, which is extremely dreadful in itself. Dr. Fontana made me feel very comfortable and relaxed as he informed me about the process and eased my fears. The process was quick and actually pretty painless. Dr. Fontana even just called on a Friday at 5:00 to check on me. It's very difficult to find a business where "excellence" is their standard, but this is one of them. I highly recommend Dr. Fontana! read more

Quick and painless. These guys were great! I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. The office was clean, staff was educated and friendly, and the happy gas was awesome! Haha read more

I went to Steven Fontana for a consult to get my wisedom teeth extracted, everything was going well and I was ready to book my appointment; but I remembered while researching him he had a malpractice claim in 2011. So I asked him about it and he just looks at me blankly and says, "I've never had a malpractice claim at this office." I go through all the information I know about it and he has no clue what I'm talking about, only to tell me 5 minutes later he was part of a group that got sued and he wasn't involved. That reassured me, but at the time he made it out to seem like I was lying and mistaken, and obviously had the wrong information and the wrong doctor, which was unnerving and insulting. Friends and family convinced me to move forward, saying that he probably didn't know that the claim was on his record, so I make the appointment for surgery. Fast forward 3 1/2 weeks, I get a call to reschedule my appointment that I made almost a month ago, took time out of my schedule and my family's schedule to accommodate me post surgery, due to a training. I found it very unprofessional, the woman on the phone just suggested we just cancel the surgery since I'm displeased, then hangs up on me. He could be a wonderful oral surgeon, but I thought his staff was rude and it was unprofessional to cancel surgery patients on such short notice. read more

Recently both of my sons had their wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Fontana. We were impressed with the communication and education provided in the pre-op appointment and during the procedure. The front desk staff as well as the medical assistants are friendly and answered all of our questions from billing to post-op care. I would highly recommend Dr. Fontana and staff for any oral surgery needs. read more

Following up my previous review, the entire process with Dr. Fontana and his staff was exceptional. Thorough, very caring and very professional from start to finish. You can tell that the entire staff cares about their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Fontana to all who need his expertise. read more
