JOHN VINCENT CRAVIOTTO, M.D.
A distinguished member of the medical fraternity in California is John Vincent Craviotto, the physician and surgeon, whose fine suite of offices are located on North Sutter Street, Stockton. He was born near Genoa, Italy, on August 1, 1879, and when five years of age, he was brought to California by his parents, who settled at San Francisco. He attended the local schools, and later went to St. Ignatius College; and in 1899 he was graduated from the University of California with the Ph.G. degree. Five years later, he was graduated from the Cooper Medical College, affiliated with Stanford University; and then he received the coveted M.D. degree. He was an intern in the City and County Hospital and also the French Hospital at San Francisco for a year, and in October, 1905, he removed to Stockton and began to practice medicine.
From the beginning of his professional experience, Dr. Craviotto has not only been in great demand as one of the leaders in the Italian Colony of San Joaquin County, but he has steadily taken high rank as one of the ablest of physicians and surgeons, often called in consultation and for serious cases requiring the specialist. He is physician for the Concordia Grove of Druids, the Cavalotti Lodge of Foresters, and the Italian Garden Society. He is a member of the American Medical Association, and the State and County Societies, and he has a fellowship in the American College of Surgeons. He is president of the Stockton Italian Club, and belongs to Lodge No. 218 of the Elks, to the Young Men's Institute, to the Druids, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Foresters of America. And he is a member of the advisory board of the Bank of Italy at Stockton and of the Security Building & Loan Association and for the past twelve years he has been a member of the State Lunacy Commission.
In San Francisco, in 1904, Dr. Craviotto was married to Miss Lydia Spadina, a native of San Francisco; and they have six children, all born at Stockton: Concessa, Irene, Angela, John Vincent, Jr., Vincent Angelo, and Yollanda.
