Dale J. LaCroix, M.D., FACOG

Dale Jeanne LaCroix grew up locally.  As the daughter of a plant pathologist and a critical care nurse, her exposure to science and healthcare began early.  She refined her interest through high school and college, where she studied engineering before settling on a career in medicine.  After graduating from the College of Medicine at the University of Vermont in 1992 she attended residency at the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester NY.  She served as Administrative Chief Resident and worked on the city wide collaborative residency review committee in 1996. 

After working outside of the Boston area she made her way home, joining Affiliates in OB/GYN Care in 2000.  Since then she has been busy caring for women, raising her two daughters along with her husband.  While her professional interests span the entire specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. LaCroix has particular interests in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, adolescent gynecology, and infertility.  She serves on the Labor and Delivery Operations Committee at Fletcher Allen Health Care.
