After three procedures, I can say that Dr. Chargares and his staff are the most caring, competent individuals I've met to date.

I recently had a mammography and breast ultrasound. My doctor told me I needed to see a surgeon. I called Dr. Chagares’ office and they got me in right away. Dr. Chagares explained that I needed to have a biopsy and I was so scared. Luckily, my biopsy was negative and I am back to needing routine care. My experience with Dr. Chagares couldn’t have been any better. He was knowledgeable, he helped me understand everything that was going on and he made me feel at ease. The staff was so easy to deal with every step of the way. Amazing doctor and an amazing office. Highly recommend.

I've had nothing but pleasurable experiences with Dr. Chagares and his staff. Accommodating, caring, friendly and easy to say the least. I've gone to many doctors for the same situation, but none come close to Dr. Chagares. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the area.

Dr. Chagares is pompous and arrogant. I was misdiagnosed with an umbilical hernia without having a test done or even a proper exam. He didn't listen to anything I had to say and was very unprofessional. His "presentation" sounded rehearsed. Another amazing surgeon saved my life. Run as fast as you can from this careless man.

His bedside manner is very leisure. I was not comfortable with his casual demeanor and will absolutely seek the care of another professional.

Dr. Chagares repaired a hernia for me and one for a family member. He is great - very good communication, and the surgery went flawlessly. So well, in fact, that I'm going back to him to have one on the other side repaired.
