On behalf of his entire family, citizen Cius Servandieux expressed his deep gratitude to Dr. John Croes for the care, guidance, and dedication he has shown toward their health over many years.
The end of the year is traditionally a time of unity, reflection, and gratitude, and this sentiment became reality at the end of 2025 in the office of Dr. John Croes. During an unexpected and heartfelt moment, the Servandieux family surprised the doctor with a gesture of appreciation, as recognition of his continued commitment to the well-being of their family.
According to Mr. Servandieux, Dr. Croes has played an important role in the life of his family.
He emphasized that Dr. John Croes is known as a physician who takes time for his patients, listens to their concerns, and performs thorough examinations, as a medical professional should. According to Servandieux, this stands in clear contrast to the modern trend in which patient contact is increasingly limited to phone calls, assistants, or digital means.
Another aspect the family particularly appreciates is that Dr. Croes does not focus solely on financial gain, but rather on the quality of life of his patients. After many years as patients, Servandieux stated that he can personally confirm the difference that a humane and holistic approach can make in healthcare.
In addition, he highlighted that Dr. Croes seeks to avoid unnecessary prescriptions of medication and evaluates alternative options such as natural medicine and herbal remedies when the patient’s health condition allows it. According to Servandieux, given the global development of natural medicine, it is important for Aruba and its government not to lag behind in recognizing and incorporating this knowledge into the healthcare system.
Servandieux expressed that Aruba is blessed to have a professional of the caliber of Dr. John Croes, whose expertise is appreciated internationally and who collaborates with experts and professors abroad. Nevertheless, he lamented that locally, according to Servandieux, the healthcare system does not always offer the recognition and opportunities that an Aruban professional of this level deserves.
“Aruba faces a shortage of doctors, while there are local physicians who are passionate and willing to contribute, but do not always find the space to continue serving their country,” Servandieux stated. He added that hiring doctors from abroad, which involves higher costs, does not always result in the level of service the community expects.
In conclusion, citizen Cius Servandieux emphasized that Dr. John Croes deserves a position of honor so he can continue to share his knowledge with new generations and contribute to the future of the medical sector in Aruba.
“Dr. John Croes is more than a family doctor; he is an example of vocation, humanity, and love for the medical profession.”
