From the 1st phone call my husband made through the visit with Dr. Garreau, everyone was very responsive, professional and personable.

In the exact words of my Mother who is [age removed], "Dr. Garreau is the best Doctor I have ever seen". As her care giver I totally agree, Dr. Garreau is a gem and my Mother looks forward to her next appointment.

Such a good experience. I'm glad I was referred to her. Kind, knowledgeable, great listener. It's obvious she really cares. I do wish she had more clinic hours at Meridian Park Hospital however. I would have liked to have seen her there at three months post surgery, but had to wait 6 due to her limited schedule.

Dr. Garreau was very friendly and I could tell that she had reviewed my file before hand. She asked questions about how I had done with the biopsy and showed me all the imaging taken from mammogram and ultrasound. She answered all my questions about the tumor and surgery. I appreciate how she took into consideration some personal events upcoming and assured me the surgery could wait until the summer. Her scheduler was also amazing In finding a good day that worked for me when I would have childcare.

I say extremely likely that I would recommend this provider, but since she is an oncology surgeon I would hope no one I know would need to see her. If you know what I mean
Dr Garreau has a very upbeat positive personality.
