Great guy and he does an amazing job on my foot
Very knowledgeable & personable; listened to what I had to say & offered very pertinent advice. I left the office w/a good understanding of my issue & a treatment path going forward. Very efficient as well - there was very little wait & I was on my way in no time! Yet another reason I love NEOS for my ortho care!
Professional
DR. Lareau is very personable, attentive, listens carefully to concerns and addresses them confidently and kindly. Delightful to have as my doctor (and he was equally kind and competent putting back together my daughter's shattered foot in 2019).
The Best, hands down.
Doctor was rushed. Didn’t have much time for questions. He did a good job with the surgery it seems so far.
An excellent doctor and surgeon.
Dr. Lareau is my hero!! He did my bunion surgery in April and within three months everything was perfect, still had some swelling which was expected but my foot didn’t hurt anymore and I could walk without any pain. He’s a great surgeon!!
VERY GOOD DR 🙏
Dr Lareau is so professional and caring at the same time. He makes you feel heard and understood from the moment he enters the room. I trust his opinion and know he truly wants to get the bottom of the issue.
