Doctor's Bio
Dr. Hearns Charles’ primary focus is patient care: the patient always comes first in all considerations. This is achieved not only with procedural expertise, but also with empathic and compassionate care. Dr. Charles believes in close and constant communication with referring physicians for optimal patient care, management, and follow-up. His great smile and wonderful demeanor usually induce a calming effect on patients who are always encouraged to engage in their own care. The simplest approach to treatment is always chosen to bring about the most effective procedural and patient outcome. This patient-centric approach includes prompt procedure scheduling, an optimized procedural experience, and longitudinal follow-up, as well as a strong, positive collaborative approach with nurses and technologists.
