I think there should be two or three categories to rate a doctor. Their expertise, their bedside manner and their ability to communicate based on being able to read their patient's personality. That last one is not really possible. Dr. Charn is VERY knowledgeable. He has been honest and has no issues telling you that if you want another opinion, by all means, go to it. He's busy, but when he's talking to you, one on one, he takes the time to do so and he will answer your questions, even if they seem dumb, and he gives you the dignity to make your own decisions, even if he disagrees with them. I don't mind doctors that are upfront and to the point, many do, so giving a doctor a bad review based on his bedside manner, I feel, is unfair. It has nothing to do with his expertise and care. Being aloof and rude goes against our wanting to be treated kindly, so I understand the feelings, but if a physician really knows his stuff and will be honest in his care, I'll take that over being coddled. read more

I'm a new patient to Dr Charn. I read a couple negative reviews and I'm here to testify as a 20 year medical professional that is now in need of a Cardiologist and I can with honesty and professionalism say Dr. harm is professional with excellent bedside manners. He listens thoroughly to your concerns, symptoms and worries. He gathers all the facts and begins his investigation to ensure your health is #1 priority. As a medical professional working with some of the best Cardiologists in California from pediatric to adults I am comfortable being his patients. I hope this helps any patients looking for reassurance. read more

He is a very rude man, very unprofessional. Did not like him at all. If you can find another doctor, you definitely should.

My neighbor has been having issues with his pacemaker, I brought him to a couple visits and eventually a stress test and Angiogram @ Mercy General in Stockton .. Each appt. or procedure / testing he was absolutely frustrated with his communication with Dr. Charn. Dr. Has NO PATIENCE, HORRIBLE BEDSIDE MANER. AND COMES OFF ALOOF AND RUDE. Some doctors will never understand that this is unacceptable, and that although choosing a cardiologist in Jackson the choices are somewhat limited. I've found him a great doctor who's patient and takes the time to listen and communicate with his patients.. Reviews on other sites have shown that I'm not alone in my experience with Dr. Charn. read more
