          Registration Statement on Form S-3

Gentlemen:

     I  have  represented  Fonar  Corporation,   a  Delaware   corporation  (the
"Company"),  in connection  with the preparation of the  registration  statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement")  relating to the proposed  issuance of up to  2,000,000  shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common
Stock") upon the exercise of the Callable Warrants.  In this connection,  I have
examined  originals or copies of the Callable  Warrants dated August 30, 2002. I
have  also  examined  originals  or copies of such  other  documents,  corporate
records,  certificates  of  public  officials  and other  documents  as I deemed
necessary to examine for purposes of this opinion.

     I am of the  opinion  that when the shares of Common  Stock  covered by the
Registration  Statement  have been  issued in  accordance  with the terms of the
Warrants,  such shares of Common Stock will be duly authorized,  validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

     I hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  Opinion  as an  Exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

                                                            Very truly yours,

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