I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Cherenfant. He performed both my colon resection and my port placement, and from our very first meeting, his bedside manner was outstanding. He is truly kind, compassionate, and dedicated to his patients.
Dr. Cherenfant took all the time necessary to sit down with my wife and me, thoroughly explaining every detail of the procedures, what to expect, and answering all of our questions with patience and clarity. In a medical world that often feels rushed, I never once felt like "just another patient" on a schedule with him he genuinely cared about me as a person and made sure we felt confident and supported every step of the way. I cannot recommend Dr. Cherenfant highly enough.

From my very first appointment, I knew I was in good hands. He has an exceptional bedside manner — warm, caring, and never makes you feel rushed. When it came time for my surgery, he took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, making sure I fully understood what to expect. That kind of patience and genuine care for his patients is rare and truly means the world when you’re facing any surgery.
