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.

Horrible
Been a patient for years. He closed up shop, retired, and didn't give ample notice to patients. Sent our records to Dr Terrazino without our permission, and now they want to charge $25 per person to obtain our property. Disgusting.

He is a great doctor and yes he does get concerned about weight. Being overweight carries risks with it that is all. I find him to spend lots of time with me and I love that.

Neither Dr Charnock or his staff were wearing masks, yet the Facey building has posted that masks are required. Dr Charnock was rude and disrespectful. He didn't want to discuss any of my concerns regarding my thyroid treatment and belittled me about my weight.

Terrible bedside manner. Very insulting and demeaning and I left crying. He is ONLY concerned about weight and will tell you that your problems with weight have NOTHING to do with your Thyroid. Please do not waste your time, unless you want to leave feeling degraded and depressed.

I don't know if the people leaving negative reviews are talking about the right doctor. George Charnock is extremely dedicated and intelligent. He was a lifesaver to me.

He is a very good doctor. He helped my son Geoffrey tremendously. Dr. Charnock tells you the truth about if you should lose weight, control your diabetes, etc. He is very knowledgeable and I liked him. My son is 15 and really liked him too.

He is great! He focuses very much on the basics and works to solve as many things as possible without drugs (diet habits, exercise, well organized life, etc.). He will push you, and he will push you hard, but he is also very empathetic when he sees that you are investing yourself and working to do your best. He takes time with you and he answers questions straight. He also continues his studies and is very up to date on the best practices. I would refer him to anyone willing to do their part.

He left my thyroid disease untreated and kept trying to force his private weight clinic. Once I went to another doctor who did the proper tests, I found out that I had no thyroid and thus hadn't been getting proper medication dosage for years. He was also extremely sexist and condescending.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Charnock?
All Dr Charnock is concerned about, regardless of why you are seeing him is your WEIGHT....and how to drop a "little more." When he is "on call", he simply doesn't take patient, Dr., or ER calls, leaving all involved beyond frustrated. Hospital follow ups /rounds are sporadic Totally unacceptable! Office staff stressed & appear angry. Definitely not a positive environment for anyone needing medical care

Displayed cognitive difficulties: drew erroneous conclusions about calorie count on food journal, muttered "idiots" as he struggled to read bloodwork from a lab he doesn't normally use. Re-ordered same recent labwork. Extremely insulting, condescending. Said my weight was twice what should be (which was mathematically incorrect). His nutritional advice was out-of-date and I am concerned his medical knowledge might be as well. Great doctor 10 years ago. I don't trust his judgment now.
