Went to multiple doctors for knee pain and they all said they couldn't do anything. Went to Dr. Charen and he tried gel, cortisone and PT. Finally when nothing worked, he did surgery and cleaned out torn meniscus. Very thorough, and great bedside manner. Would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Dr. Charen was knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional when interacting with me. He answered all my questions (there were a lot of them) with patience. The office staff were warm and helpful. I would recommend giving Dr. Charen a visit if you need to see an orthopedist.
