Dr. Paul Lafontaine, MD

I have been going to Dr. LaFontaine for several years and have found him to be informative and competent. I feel that he has thoroughly researched my condition through all the necessary testing and taken a very practical approach to advising me about my options. I would recommend him.

I did not previously know Dr. Lafontaine but he was recommended by my PCP. When he found out that I was a new patient & had been waiting 45 minutes he came out to the waiting room then escorted me into an office. He created a diagram of my condition & two of the possible surgical options. His patient teaching was reassuring & he quickly scheduled my surgery. On the day of surgery Dr. Lafontaine marked the correct side for my surgery & recapped what to expect. The surgery was perfect z& he was able to remove a large kidney stone that plagued me for 7 years. I would recommend Dr. Lafontaine to anyone who requires a urological surgery.

Dr. LaFontaine has treated me for kidney stones and was very good. Surgery was successful, and he was very empathetic to my pain. Now years later, he is treating my husband Jim for bladder cancer. Great bedside manner, and my husband really likes him. Definitely 5 stars ??

Direct and to the point! Extremely efficient and took the time to explain my condition and treatment options available. When testing and a procedure had to be scheduled his office was prompt and communicated with me throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Dr. LaFontaine!

I saw Dr Lafontaine in 2014 and was having chronic cystitis and pubic pain. When I saw him he told me "I do not know why I you're having symptoms, it could be because the moon is full, it could be because the redsox won the World Series" then showed me a book with different diets to ease symptoms, but did not refer me onto a nutritionist or pelvic floor physiotherapist. Last, he said "you are going to have to learn to live with this painful condition for the rest of your life." I am healthy now.

Terrible treatment from Dr Lafontaine on many levels. He only treats patients at Mt Auburn hospital on Fridays. That's it. After several weeks to get an appointment, I had a kidney stone that needed to be removed. 4 months later I had the surgery. The surgery didn't remove the stone and he didn't know that! He said to come back in 6 months to check. After 2 more infections caused by the stone I finally changed doctors and got immediate treatment. What a difference! Also his office was decrepit!

Dr. Lafontaine is a brilliant surgeon who cares deeply about his patients. He's great at explaining what's going on in your body & he's got a dry sense of humor that I greatly enjoy. Most of all, I'd say he saved my life in his skillful operation on me to remove my bladder cancer. Highly recommend him.
