Charlie Fox, M.D.
Gastroenterologist
About Charlie Fox, M.D.
Dr. Charlie Fox is board certified in Internal Medicine. Although he treats all GI issues, he is particularly interested in liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and esophageal disorders.
Dr. Fox chose to specialize in gastroenterology because of the complexity, variety and the ability to directly visualize, diagnose and treat disorders through endoscopy. The function of the GI tract is closely connected to our everyday lives as we eat and digest our food. Therefore helping patients with issues of the GI tract can be very rewarding.
Patients can expect a patient-centered and evidence-based approach. Dr. Fox likes to meet patients where they are, taking time to understand their concerns and thoughts, prior to discussing further evaluation and treatment. He encourages his patients to take an active role in the shared decision-making process as they evaluate and address their GI issues. Dr. Fox wants patients to leave their visits feeling heard as well as satisfied with their care.
Dr. Fox attended the Milton S Hershey Medical Center at Pennsylvania State University for his medical degree. After that, he attended the University of Colorado for his medical residency and the University of Utah for his medical fellowship.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Fox enjoys skiing and snowboarding, golfing, hiking and going to concerts. He loves watching movies and he has two energetic kittens at home.

Dr Trowbridge is simply the best
My long time physician in this office retired, and today was the first time I met Dr. Harmston as he took over my care. As a retired nurse, I was very impressed with him. He had thoroughly reviewed my chart before my appointment and was very easy to talk to. He answered all my questions in detail and took time to ask a few personal questions and get to know me.
Dr.Voaklander was very thorough and we choose a good path to start my medical journey! I believe I will be in good hands with her!
Dr Harmston is one of the best! He has been my physician for over 20 years and has treated my medical problems with the up most medical advice and treatment.
Explained everything very well, calmed my nerves as much as possible, made sure she covered every base she could, also listens to loud music while they work which is right up my alley.. no pun intended :D
Dr. Venner communicates clearly and I felt comfortable during my appointment
Top notch. Dr Trowbridge is the best. He is caring and communicates clearly and does not rush thru your appointment.
Everyone was very caring and helped me due to how much pain I was in. The employees were very good and made sure I was taken care of.
Love Dr Harmston so much. My whole family and I have been seeing him for years. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, is kind and caring and is very knowledgeable. His staff is very friendly also.
Dr Voaklander’s office runs smoothly and professionally. Quality attention and effort given. She is very pleasant and thorough
Dr Volklander is concerned and helpful. I appreciate the time she takes to listen to my concerns and answer questions.
Dr. Pederson took time to answer any questions we had. He did nit appear hurried. He cared about what we were dealing with and gave us some solutions to try so we can check back later.
Dr Wills and his staff performed an endoscopy. They were kind, efficient and thorough.
Wonderful Dr, thorough, I always leave satisfied with the visit
Dr. Harmston is an excellent professional. He has been helping me for years, from top to bottom. During the start of Covid, I was extremely ill with something I didn’t know anything about. The doctors I had at the time didn’t want to help me, and said they could not do procedures during the Covid time. I had Dr. Harmston years before these people, and they worked me in to do a procedure, which I know Dr. Harmston saved my life. as they found out what I had. And started treating me. The latest procedure was for esophagitis. He is excellent.
If you want the best gut doctor on the planet Dr. Harmston is your man. He is very approachable and is a trusted friend. He is bold but not over bearing. He will not tell you what you want to hear but will tell you his honest opinion. What he feels is right for you. If you don’t want that then don’t ask him. He is very good at his profession. Known him for years. He loves what he does. And he is good at it. Just don’t come in with a sticker on your reading glasses. Dr. Harmston doesn’t like stickers on your reading glasses when he is talking to you. 🤣
Dr. Frech was excellent, took the time to get to know my son, answer all of our questions, made sure to check his medical history as we were new patients to his practice.
There are not enough words in the human language to describe how brilliant Dr. Chaya is. Her bedside manner, her professionalism, her caring demeanor. Every doctor should take a lesson from her. Thank you for going into medicine Dr. Chaya and thank you for being my doctor!❤️
Dr. Voaklander listens to your concerns and is knowledgeable about insurance requirements making it easier to navigate the system.
I jad a very good experience during my visit to Dr. Voaklander. I first had the opportunity to visit with her MA. She was very personable and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Voaklander spent time getting to know me and helped me feel comfortable with the decisions that needed to be made. I want to thank everyone I met for a great experience.
