Dr Croteau has the bedside manner of a doctor that you only read about nowadays. I have been very fortunate to have him as my physician for the last 20 years or so. He has a gentle nature but will tell you straight when you need to hear it. I wouldn't trade him for anything. I hope we're both going to be around for another 20!

Dr. Croteau has been my doctor for over 20 years. He is an excellent physician, very kind, and very courteous. He always takes time to listen and is extremely knowledgeable. We need more physicians like him.

Wait time is difficult when you have hurried to be on time. However that can be an acceptable trade off for an excellent doctor who answers your questions at layman's level and doesn't rush you or rush you out

Dr Croteau is the best of all things about a doctor. Smart, caring, personal, he can see all ages and tempermants. He is a blessing. You may have to wait to see him, but he's worth it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Croteau FOREVER, he is patient, a good listener, and takes whatever time necessary for a patient. Yes he is sometimes late for you scheduled time - but that is because he takes the time necessary.
