you are the kindness and most caring surgeon we know of , your advise was great and your bed side was very the utmost and calming we have ever known , Wednesday was a very stressful day for both of us , and you took all that away , when you came out in the waiting and talk to me ron , and you took me into a room off to the side of the waiting room , at first I thought the worse , because all the other surgeons talk to family right there in the waiting are . but you took the time to talk to me in private , and told me everything came out good , I thought I was going to pass out at that time . YOU ARE THE BEST PRIOD . now we just wait for the results . thanks a again , penny and ron .

Dr Cherenfant always puts the needs of his patients first. He is willing to medically manage his patients as well as be their surgeon. He treats his patients and their families as if they were his own and it shows through his gentle compassionate treatment to everyone he encounters. Dr Cherenfant always tries to provide his patients with the least minimally invasive procedures in order to achieve the best prognosis and limited healing difficulties.

Not only did he save my mother’s life, but he did so with the least invasive tatitcs and the best bed side manner out there ! Without his knowledge and expertise there is no telling what would have happened to her ! Her case was very difficult and I would not have wanted anyone but him to handle it !
