Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He may do ok with hip &/or knee surgeries, but he did a very poor job of treating a broken bone in my hand. Outdated casting and splinting was used and when asked if there were alternatives, Dr. Charles became defensive and verbally reacted in an unprofessional manner. I then went to a different orthopaedic clinic, where I was very satisfied with updated skills and treatment. I would never go back to him or recommend him to anyone!
