Charles E. Ahner joined Ahner Medical Center in 2002 after completing his residency at Forest Park Hospital (affiliated with St. Louis University). As a resident, Dr. Ahner received several awards including outstanding intern of the year, resident of the year and was elected Chief resident in his final year. After passing the National Board, Dr. Ahner became a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Dr. Ahner has been in practice ever since, and is now focused on a broader spectrum of medicine. He is the medical director of the Ahner Medical Center; manages patient care, Chelation therapy, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy, Nutrition and Weight Loss, and much more.

Dr. Ahner has a passion for preventive and complimentary medicine. His philosophy is to direct therapy based on the individual. He believes that the job of a great physician is to treat not only acute medical conditions but also to keep "healthy people healthy"... to be proactive. He feels if we treat hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and other chronic diseases aggressively, we can also reverse disease by modulating markers of disease before they become problematic.

Dr. Ahner is dedicated to quality patient care and continues his education and affiliation as a member of ACAM (American College for the Advancement of Medicine) and, AAAAM (American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine).
