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.

Wonderful Orthopedic doctor!!!
I absolutely love Dr Charles Ware and all of his staff. I have never been to an orthopedic office where I've been treated with such a kind and caring doctor and staff!!I have arthritis in most of my joints and he has been very respectful and helpful with reducing my pain through steroid injections in my shoulders, knees, and elbows. I've been very impressed with Dr. Ware and all his staff that have treated numerous joints for me. You are able to get X-rays done immediately right at his office. It makes things so much more convenient to immediately get results to an x-ray instead of having to wait to get it scheduled and then wait to find out the results. I greatly appreciate that he is willing to try all other options instead of surgery to treat my numerous joints. Dr Ware was referred to me by someone else who has had numerous surgeries with Dr Ware and he had nothing but good things to say about the outcome of each surgery.I highly recommend this doctor!!!

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Ware for years. Now our son is seeing him. Dr.Ware is an awesome doctor. He explained everything to me so I can understand it. He did 2 knee Replacement and a Rotator Cuff surgery on me. I love his staff. I will never go to another doctor as long as Dr.Wear is around. Very happy to be a patient of his. JoAnn Reed

Dr. Ware is a great orthopedic doctor! He fixed the screw up by another orthopedic doctor and got me walking straight again! He doesn't just rush you thru - he takes his time and listens to your concern and works with you on the problems. His medical staff is very caring and supportive. I would recommend him to anyone.
