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.

Outstanding Physician
I would highly recommend Dr. Charette!! He is a top notch physician who is caring and compassionate. He is a highly skilled surgeon. I had a hip replacement on October 24th and was up and around the same day. Recovery was excellent because of the surgeon. If you need a hip replacement, Dr. Charette is your answer!

Compassionate and Thorough
From the moment I met the staff, I knew found the right place. Friendly, prompt, professional. And then I met Dr Charette and was met by a compassionate, learned and thorough physician. He listened, explained, went over options and didn’t rush through my visit. I left feeling as though I am now in good hands.

Dr Charette is a top notch physician. The best bed side manner. He takes his time to answer all questions and never rushes you. My hip replacement was done perfectly and the entire process from start to finish was a huge success.

Recommend to everyone!
I had to have both hips replaced and ultimately had to change doctors three times due to their retirements. My first was done posterior and the recovery process was long. Dr. Charente used the anterior approach and the recovery process was amazing. I have told everyone I have spoken to that this is the way to have it done and that Dr. Charente is awesome!! He always took the time to explain each step of the way and never got impatient or rushed during my visits.

Best Experience---Right Hip Replacement
Dr Charette was more than patient when I confirmed with him (three times) that this was to be an anterior procedure. This was important to me, considering that my left hip procedure was presented as anterior, but turned out to be a posterior procedure. Anterior is SOOOO much better, and Dr Charette is very thorough.

Just had final check up for hip/femur repair Of 1
Doctor Charette smiled as he walked into the room to tell us the results of this last X-ray. My hip and femur had successfully healed. All through this journey of 1 year he was very patient in listening to our questions and concerns, putting our minds at ease with his encouragement. I do highly recommend doctor Charette!
