Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend
Dr. Charoen is through, kind and considerate. The appropriate tests were ordered and the results were explained easily to me. Thanks Dr. Charon!

Best Gastro Doctor Ever!
Dr. Charoen is the best gastroenterologist I’ve encountered! She went above and beyond to not only try to help me with my symptoms and rule out every possible issue, but she’s also the first doctor to sit down and have an actual conversation with me and listen to my needs. She explains everything so thoroughly and always makes sure I understand what’s going on.

Great experience!
Dr. Charoen is a very kind and thorough doctor. She took the time to explain my diagnosis in detail as well as various treatment options. She answered all my questions and I never felt rushed to let her get to the next patient. I'm grateful that she is my doctor.

I would highly recommend Dr Charoen and her staff.
When I first came down with colitis and was referred to her by Dr Smith she got me in right away and started to rule things out. She has been very attentive, caring, etc to me as a patient and has been beside me the whole step of the way. I am on my healing journey and all because of the great staffing and Dr Charoen I feel safe and extremely well taken care of.

Pain-Free Colonoscopy with Exceptional Care
I recently had a colonoscopy with Dr. Charoen, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Dr. Charoen was incredibly attentive, taking the time to thoroughly explain all the procedures beforehand. She carefully reviewed my medical history and made the wise decision to use a smaller colonoscope, which turned out to be the right choice given my unique colon structure.The best part was that I didn’t feel any pain at all, both during and after the operation. Additionally, the staff was very friendly and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Charoen for her professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent patient care.

Dr. Charoen explained everything before and after
The team of the Dr. Charoen, Julie, Josie and Kim were a great team. They made me feel so comfortable without rushing. They really showed that they cared and would definitely recommend them. I want to thank you ladies, for this being my first time getting a colonoscopy and I was so relaxed and afterwards felt like I didn’t go thru any procedure because I didn’t feel any different. The procedure was done on Wednesday, March 27th 2024.. Thank You again Ladies.

One of the best doctors I have been to.
In fall 2022, I had a big surgery that necessitated the removal of 2/3rds of my bowel. As a result, I suffered with symptoms of short gut syndrome. I was unable to gain weight, my hair was falling out, and my lab results were all over the place. Emotionally, I was a mess. Dr. Charoen met with me and assured me that she could and would help me. She had reviewed ALL pertinent records before she met with me, she listened to me, asked open ended questions to flush out my story, and she included me in the plan to improve outcomes. Unlike some doctors I have seen, I felt like Dr. Charoen saw me as a person who needed help not just someone to increase billable hours. I highly recommend Dr. Charoen.
