I have several basic goals and aspirations for my professional life. My first goal is to treat each patient with state-of-art therapy and balance that treatment with the individual’s physical and emotional wants and needs. Secondly, I hope to continue to help those less fortunate both here in the U.S. and in developing countries. Third, I plan to continue a life of learning from others and a life of teaching students, residents and others from the knowledge and experiences I have accumulated in my career. And lastly, I hope to push the frontiers of medicine forward by performing research in my areas of expertise.

Just left the office, I thought I had some dangerous lesion on my tongue but the doctor reassured me. He was patient and great to talk to. He went over everything and beyond. Really liked him.

Had my tonsillectomy last week and both doctor and staff called me daily to check in. I was in alot of pain but just knowing how much the office cares shows me they are the BEST!

From start to finish I received excellent care from Dr. Charous and his scheduling coordinator Nikki who kept me informed of all details of my surgery. My final follow up visit was yesterday after having undergone a septoplasty and turbinectomy. I was nervous about the procedure but Dr. Charous kept me at ease before, during and after the surgery. I highly recommend him if you are seeking an ENT.

What a caring and compassionate physician and surgeon! I didn’t see the light in the tunnel till I saw him as my doctor. Thanks for saving me!

Dr. Charous has great bedside manners, easy to talk to and answers all my questions. Don't believe the other bad reviews that were probably all written by the same person. Dr. Charous and staff care about their patients.

This man is most inhumane person ever. I honestly don’t know who allowed him people. He was not only disrespectful but ignorant and rude. He made us feel like we were benethe his skills and didn’t deserve to be treated. At the end of the visit he verbally said maybe “go see another doctor “ literally telling us to not come back to him. Thanks doctor (it you call yourself that) I wouldn’t come to you even if you payed me. Congratulations on your pathetic doctorate degree which you can hang in the living room and be proud of . Because you’ll never touch a heart and never help a person

Dr. Charous squeezed me in the same day for a neck biospy. Thankfully it was benign. He was very caring and detailed. Thanks

Dr. Charous is an excellent surgeon. He got rid of my cancer and I grateful forever.

I came here to help my breathing thru my nose. He did a septoplasty on me when the issue was not as complex. The procedure was an absolute failure. I cannot breath and now my nose is deformed. He absolutely devastated my entire life. I believe he should not be in this field. He does not have the skills to perform these procedures. The post operative care was also dreadful. In my opinion his only aim is money not to help his patients.

Although I was only dealing w/a sinus infection, Dr Charous spent sufficient time with me and was very engaging.
