About Dr. Chariker
Thoughtful care. Lasting results. A surgical experience built on trust.
A Practice That Puts Patients First
At the practice of Mark E. Chariker, M.D., FACS, every patient is treated with honesty, compassion, and the time they deserve. For more than 40 years, Dr. Chariker has helped people of all ages move through life with greater confidence, whether through cosmetic enhancements, reconstructive surgery, or long-term care for children with complex conditions.
Here, it’s not just about procedures. It’s about people. From the moment you walk in, you’ll experience care that is thoughtful, personal, and centered around you. We work closely with every patient to understand their needs, explain their options, and create natural results that align with their goals, not someone else’s idea of perfection.
Plastic surgery isn’t just about changing how you look, it’s about helping people live more confidently, comfortably, and fully. That’s what keeps me passionate about this work.
