Dr. Chaer is an exceptional doctor. He provided easy-to-understand explanations, included my concerns in his discussions, and clearly outlined the benefits and risks of the VenoValve as a treatment option.. I would highly recommend him to others.

Dr Chaer is unique among physicians anywhere! He is brilliant, compassionate, aware during visits, never rushed, and listens! PVD is a scary diagnosis for me. My husband and I are both patients of Dr Chaer, and we can't imagine having anyone else treating us. I am a retired CRNP. He is truly one in a million!

Dr. Chaer is excellent. He understood quickly that I am a scientist and that he could describe things in a detailed and complex way, but I'm sure he would communicate equally well with less knowledgeable or anxious patients.

He was very professional and friendly. He addressed our concerns and questions appropriately.
