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.

5 year patient
I have had lots of visits with Dr. Charn. He diagnosed me with heart failure after many tests. I saw two more cardiologist to confirm his diagnosis and his requirement for a pacemaker-defibrillator . My ejection fraction was 25-30% and I had fainted twice, I would have died without the Medtronic CRT-D pacemaker. I’m now doing great 5 years later with EF of 55-60%, normal. Dr. Charn is though and has your best health as his top priority. He saved my life!

After doing heart cath Dr Charn told my husband no issues.Then prescribed 2 meds for him. With or without food my husband started throwing up his meds daily. For 1 month we tried different combinations and times of the day.Waiting 4 weeks for the appt.The papers given after the procedure said to notify the dr if allergic to penicilin or if taking another drug. yes to both. Dr. Charn refused to make changes. Having Parkinsons, it is important that he keep his meds down. New meds or new dr

Charn may not be a social butterfly but he is clearly an extremely skilled physician. I am very familiar with doctors of a variety of specialties and Dr. Charn is a standout in his attention to detail and knowledge of his craft. He does not cut corners at any stage. I trust him and have found him to be very trustworthy.

Although Dr. Charn is very shy, he is an excellent diagnostician for cardiology issues. He is willing to answer any questions regarding test results in a very clear and concise manner.
