                                 July 15, 2005

Fonar Corporation
110 Marcus Drive
Melville, NY  11747

Dear Sirs:

    I refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to which this opinion is
an Exhibit (the "Registration Statement"), being filed by Fonar Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to:
3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to
the Company's 2005 Supplemental Stock Bonus Plan ("Bonus Common Stock").

    As counsel for the Company, I have examined the originals or photostatic or
certified copies of such records, certificates and instruments of the Company,
certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and such other
instruments and documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary for the
purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below.  In such examination, I
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic  copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies and the correctness of all
statements of fact contained therein.

    Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

    The Bonus Common Stock has been duly and validly authorized, and when
issued in accordance with the terms of the Company's 2005 Supplemental Stock
Bonus Plan and any applicable bonus stock awards made thereunder will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

    I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to me in Item 5 of the Registration Statement.

                               Very truly yours,

                               /s/ Henry T. Meyer
                               Henry T. Meyer, Esq.
                               General Counsel
