20 years coming to this office this was my first bad experience, didn't introduce himself, asked me in the rudest condescending way "why are you here?" Told me my MRI was normal when infact it wasn't and gives me a referral for something completely didn't come for.
Sep-2024
My previous doctor at this practice retired to I saw Dr. Charette for the first time for my hip. He came into the exam room, did not say hello, did not introduce himself, did not examine me and did not explain anything to me. Just told me I did not need hip surgery and to get physical therapy. He might be a good doctor, but he needs to improve his interaction with the patients. I will not return to him because at my age I will not see doctors who do not have any interpersonal skills and act like I am an inconvenience to them.

We appreciate the doctor seeing us, however, it was a waste of time as we had to remove the patient from rehab to get to the appointment, and all that was needed, was a review of the x-rays and call to the rehab facility to indicate no restrictions Were needed.

I wasn’t seen quite on time, but as soon as I got into the room, a nurse came. X-rays were done immediately. Dr. charrette also came extremely fast. I am waiting to hear from another physician if Cortizone injections are feasible, and will be calling to schedule if they are.

So very satisfied with this practice, and especially with Dr. Charette, not pushy about surgery, and , listens to your fears of surgery, and know he is truly interested about one's feelings. I feel very comfortable about his diagnosis.
Oct-2023
I just had total knee replacement 2 weeks ago. I don't know why I waited. Dr. Charette is the best, willing to take time to answer all the questions.
Oct-2023
It felt great walking out of there, but after I sat for an hour, it started throbbing and very tender to walk now. I did not get any advice as to heat or ice when I got home. Of course, it was my fault for not asking. Very satisfied with prompt and courteous treatment by all staff members. Never really got a diagnosis.
Oct-2023
Dr Charette listens and has a great bedside manner. Highly recommended him
Sep-2023
Top notch! Spelled it out like it was.

I would recommend him to my friends.

Pleasant manner but an exceedingly brief visit with no examination of the knee in question and no suggestions for treatment just "call if you have a problem" No feedback on xray results.Frankly rather a waste of time .At least I know I can get a n injection P R N which is nice.

First time meeting DrCharette after being a long term patient of Dr Parat. He was very understanding and accommodating. I was pleasantly impressed
May-2023
Great doctor awsome experience I would recommend him to everyone.
Mar-2023
Doc was good; my daughter liked the fact he’s young as it gave her confidence in him.
Only issue is the pain medication prescribed is not available-the pharmacy did not contact me…they contacted the office and no provision was made before closing hours. So now I have to address this myself with medication I have at my disposal. Not really ideal - even I know that given I’ve been working in healthcare for 39 years.
Mar-2023
Came in for a follow up for my knee. Did not even look at the knee. Told me he could not perscribe any new meds.
Mar-2023
Was so happy everything so far the knee feels so good very good Doctor would have my vote and would refer him to all the doc to every one I know

Great job on my new knee !!
Jan-2023
I feel that the doctor was too quick with my dads visit. He never introduced himself didn't make a follow appointment. Why because my dad is elderly???? He fractured his hip and is in a lot of pain. Take Tylenol. 🙄
Jan-2023
He was so comfortable to talk with, he’s was wonderful to me. I like him very much. He’s kind and respectful. It was awesome experience

Jan-2023
Dr. charette did it great job.. He gave me a brand new hip great personality and a real confident guy thanks
Jan-2023
Went in for a recheck on my ankle sprain. Dr. Didn't even bother having me take off my walking boot to even look at my ankle. He was in the room for less than 3 minutes, never even laid eyes on my foot. We discussed pain level for a few seconds and I basically had to ask for PT. Given my long history of ankle issues, I felt it was necessary.
Dec-2022
Not a great bedside manner. Didn’t introduce himself, ask me anything about pain level or my concerns. Acted like I was wasting his time. Very dismissive.
Dec-2022
Didn't talk to much
Dec-2022
Nice visit and clear communication. Rules out broken foot
Dec-2022
Very friendly and listen to you
Dec-2022

Explained what is wrong and how we can deal with it. Very happy to have this information.
Dec-2022
Waited an hr for my 1:30pm visit & told the dr this when he came into the room & all he did was showed me my chart that the appt was for 1:45pm, still waited an hr and the dr said nothing more. Won’t be returning!
