Fonar Corporation

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: 2,000,000
shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock  which may be  issued  pursuant  to the
Company's 2010 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 2010 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
