Personal

When Dr. Marcelin Charles was in elementary school, he would sketch the human body. That was likely the start of his medical interest. “I don’t know how it got into my heart,” he said. “I cannot remember a time in my life that I didn’t want to be a doctor.”

An avid reader and learner, Dr. Charles, who was born and raised in Haiti until he was 14 years old, was eager to learn. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, and at the age of 24 he received his medical degree from New York University. “I was always in a hurry to get it done,” he said.

Dr. Charles' upcoming retirement is well-deserved and wonderful for him but it will be a sad day for all of his many devoted patients. We have come to actually look forward to seeing "the doctor" whenever we had an appointment. He is such a nice, welcoming and calming presence--and this is especially important when we're talking about our own health. His nurses love him, the front desk receptionists love him, and those I know who also claim him as their own personal doctor love him, too. What a treasure. The best Primary Care Physician I have ever had (and I'm now 74). Congratulations, Dr. Charles. You will be sorely missed.
