We had a negative experience with DR. CHRISTIAN FRANCIS ARCHAMBAULT. He loves pushing responsibilities for the wellbeing of your child to other doctors.

Chris is extremely thorough and child-friendly. His knowledge and disposition made our experience very stress-free. I would recommend anyone looking for a pediatrician to strongly consider meeting him.

We really like Dr. Archie very much but the long waits and bad office management are causing us to look for an alternative. We do not blame the office shortcomings like promptness on Dr. Archie. It is unfortunate for a good doctor to lose patients due to lack of office staffing and proper organization. Very difficult to get a nurse or physician assistant on the phone when you need quick answers. Office does not follow up with test results in timely manner either.

My son hates doctors but loves Dr. Archie! He even gives the doctor a hug goodbye. This is the doctor you want your kids going to see. He smart, funny and easy going. He put my son at ease so quickly, I didn't believe what I was seeing. he taks time with you and cares about your child. No question...simply the best!

Dr. Archie is the pediatrician for both of my children (one being a new born). I can't say how thankful I am to have my children in his care. He is honest and conservative when it's appropriate; I trust his opinion hands down. I absolutely would recommend him!!
