Dr. Garreau has the nicest, most genuine demeanor, I have ever had in all of my medical practitioners. She is warm, engaging, great sense of humor, and you feel like you are visiting with her in your own home. She remembers a specific detail about each of her patients, that is unrelated to their health care. This shows how she very much wants to connect with her patients.

Dr. Garreau listened, sympathized, explained, was engaged, used appropriate humor, lightened the mood, was understanding, was thorough. Most of all she was patient in that she stayed as long as I needed to make sure all of my questions were answered and issues were addressed. I was VERY impressed with her, and feel extremely lucky that she was chosen at random to attend to my current medical issue.

Dr. Garreau was incredibly kind and patient with me during my visit. She explained options for a procedure with accuracy and patience and guided me to other specialists to answer questions that were not in her area. I'm incredibly grateful for healthcare providers like her.

It is always a pleasure to see Dr Garreau! She's helped me through my breast cancer dx and treatment so much (a scary time for me). She also treats me with respect, although she knows that I worked for Legacy Lab Svcs for 42.5 yrs so she probably feels I might understand more about medical issues. I never feel rushed and she answers all of my questions. I feel she really cares about me as a person.

Dr. Garreau might possibly be the best overall doctor I've ever known. It's that simple. Pick a category - staff, front desk, billing, knowledge, respect, listening, bedside manner, results, etc. - all get a 10 out of 10 rating. Truly sets the bar and definition of what a good doctor should be.

I am so glad I was seen by Dr. Garreau. I had a breast infection that was leaving a lot of clues and she helped pull all the pieces together. She made me feel confident that she knew what was happening, things were progressing towards healing, but she was there if it back tracked. I appreciated the time she took. I was a patient who doesn't have cancer, but also needed guidance. I got that! Thank you!

Dr Garreau was warm, compassionate & knowledgeable providing a strong sense of confidence in her car. She took time to answer all questions & explain the recommended plan. Dr Garreau is a sweetheart. I sent my work release and disability information to her office and told the staff it was faxed; the staff did not give me confidence that this was a high priority and would take care of the paperwork needed by my employer, Legacy.
