I am in need of additional surgery because I look worse than before the surgery. He also made me feel bad about myself for having it done. One star because the staff was decent.

Dr. Chariker went above and beyond when he performed surgery on our son. Grant spent over 30 days sedated at Norton Children’s Hospital recovering from pneumonia that was life threatening. During this time Grant development a sore on his sacrum. After many failed attempts for the wound to heal Dr. Cherika performed a procedure called Negative Pressure Therapy which over a few weeks allowed the wound to heal completely. He made regular visits to change the dressing and made late night visits to remove the vac and to remove stitches which helped advance Grant’s rehab. Our overall experience was absolutely excellent! I would highly recommend Dr. Cherika as a surgeon!

Through the years I have had several surgeries by Dr. Chariker . This person is exact in his work, very professional, and an excellent surgeon. I personally would not allow anyone but Dr. Chariker to do the types of surgery that were required. My most recent surgery was the summer of 2018. His kindness and treatment for the patient is outstanding!

My first experience with Dr. Chariker I was sent by another Dr. and I had big issues. I did not have a appointment they had work me in and to my surprise he did not rush through my appointment at all, he took his time with me and really paid close attention to my concerns and issues he has a very kind demeanor and genuinely cares about his patients . Since then I have had several surgeries and I am very pleased with his work and highly recommend him. Also his staff is amazing they are so helpful and Dr. Chariker's right hand women, his nurse Elaine is so wonderful I can not say enough to how kind and how Comfortable she made me feel during a very difficult time. I am forever greatful to them!
