The Galleri™ cancer screening offered at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine is a preventive step toward detecting cancers in the early stages. These cancer screenings are completed through liquid biopsies (a blood test), where they are used to detect any cancer cells in the body. It is different than your usual mammogram or colonoscopy because it is able to detect cancer cells early before they develop into advanced stages. Cancer screening is a quick, easy, and great way for many of our San Diego, CA patients to learn about what can be done in the next steps of their treatment plans. For more information on how we conduct our cancer screenings, contact our office and schedule an appointment.

Fontaine MD Reviews
RN Sarah Morin is amazing. She provided a great skin care regimen with IPL Facials for me. She followed up with texts to check on how my skin was reacting to treatments and truly cared about my experience. Rather than just running people through the schedule , Sarah truly took time to develop a stellar customer relationship which makes me feel like we can continue to work together over a long period of time (something that I don't feel is the norm anymore). I highly recommend the care you'll receive here, especially if you're lucky enough to book with Sarah.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Fontaine for the past 2 years, and it's been a great experience. As a 42-year-old male, I was looking for a clinic that offered comprehensive and personalized healthcare services, and they've exceeded my expectations. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. Dr. Fontaine and his team are experts in their field, and he demonstrates exceptional knowledge and genuine care for his patients. One of the highlights of my visit was the thoroughness of my consultation. Dr. Fontaine took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my treatment options in detail, and tailor a healthcare plan specifically for me. The level of attention and personalized care I received was a welcome change. I highly recommend Fontaine MD to anyone seeking top-notch, elevated medical services. Grateful to have found a great healthcare provider and will continue to trust them with my health in the future.
Dr. Fontaine is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. I highly recommend him!
Louise Bisby, RN, does magic w fillers--she's truly an artist! Patient, caring, and very skilled. I followed her from one place to the other because I love the natural, flattering work she accomplishes w fillers (the use of which is far less drastic than plastic surgery to give ur face a lift). Louise is also a pleasure to know; she is not only a skilled practitioner to me but a friend!
I am so happy w Fontaine, MD, primarily because of Louise Bisby, RN. I have followed her from place to place for several reasons: she is an artist w filler work; what she does always looks natural and is decidedly flattering. She is also a lovely, kind, and attentive person who genuinely cares for and about her clients. I would recommend her over anyone else if you want a more refreshed and youthful appearance using fillers!
