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.

I appreciated the direct message and I want to have an easier life.
Dr. Harmston is wonderful, warm, knowledgeable and professional. Even though the at home prep is awful, Dr. Harmston and his entire staff are so kind and thoughtful that it makes the experience so easy to follow through and do. Thank you so much. As long as I live in Utah, I will always go to Dr. Harmston! I won't go anywhere else.
Listened to me and offered two solution to try. Stated he would like a follow up call in thirty days to let him know how I'm doing
Excellent communications. Very personable doctor and staff. Extremely knowledgeable. Actively listens.
I have been a patient of Dr. PJ Pedersen for over twenty years. He saved my life. I was a thin, very ill woman. It took a while but he has given me medication that has controlled my Crohns. Dr. Pedersen is knowledgeable about the gut. He includes his patient in the plan of care. He is not only smart but kind & has always made me feel at ease. He's done many colonoscopies on me & his sense of humor is wonderful. I've aged in these 20+ years, into a senior. And I appreciate all the care he's given me. I would be remiss in not recognizing his nurse, Whitney. She completes the team. Very kind. Very personable. I am blessed to have found Dr. Pedersen.

I recently visited Dr. Pedersen for a couple GI issues. He was his usual kind self. He is always concerned for the well-being of his patients. I am a patient who tends to minimize my problems. I try to give all the signs & symptoms but not blow them out of proportion. I always think there are sicker patients that need the doc more than I. My thinking is illogical but I was raised by a mother who said, " There better damn well be something wrong with you so you don't waste the doctor's time." That stuck. I told Dr. Pedersen my concerns. He listened & explained what could be happening in my gut. I appreciate the explanations he gives. Even though I'm a retired RN, I have forgotten a lot & love the refresher from the doc. I believe I am in the best, most capable hands & completely trust Dr. Pedersen in managing my Crohns & other GI issues.

After 23 years of care, my favorite GI doc is retiring. I am sad but excited for Dr. Pedersen for this new chapter in his life. He has been wonderful. And I wish him all the best.

I have never met a doctor like Dr Trowbridge. He talks to you, and he listens, and he is the most caring and gentle doctor I have ever met. And he explains everything!! I would highly recommend him. Thank you Dr Trowbridge for being the best!! And the nurse is very kind also!!
She is a fantastic doctor! She stays on top of the newest info! She is very warm and easy to converse with. You know she cares!
Dr Miller was a very smart and caring Dr. I was grateful for the time he took with my husband and I. Happy to recommend him for issues you are going through. Thanks, Lyle and Janet Meadows
Dr. Trowbridge listens! I was amazed at the time and attention to all of my questions. I was given excellent explanations/ answers, and felt that I had been heard. I was amazed at the care that was offered. I am thrilled to have Dr. Trowbridge as my doctor. I am
So pleased to have a plan for my health concerns.

Dr. Miller was so easy to talk with and he answered all my questions. He never seemed rushed and spent adequate time with me. I felt heard and as a retired nurse I felt confident in his knowledge and expertise.
All of the office staff were also very professional and caring.

From procedures to office visits, Dr. Krishnamurthy is professional yet personable and does great at keeping to appt time as close as possible. Enjoy working with her.
I had a great experience with Dr. Gordon Harmston. From the moment he walked in, he was pleasant, attentive, and listened to my concerns. His thoughtful approach gave me a lot of confidence in his care. I left the appointment feeling truly supported and very satisfied! Highly Recommend!
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
