Dr. Sharp was fantastic! I had been to many doctors over the last year looking for answers none of which ever came with any answers. Dr. Sharp was extremely kind. He showed concern and compassion in my health problems. He spoke and listen to me with such kindness. He told me my concerns were valid. I actually felt like a person and not a number to him. I am so grateful to have found him. His knowledge and expertise was top notch. I will definitely continue to see him for my care.

Dr. Sharp is absolutely off the charts as a physician, surgeon, and individual. He's one of the most brilliant and talented physicians I've met, and I've worked with many. He's been my doctor for 20 years. Honestly we need a category above "very good" because he is truly exceptional. Basically he walks on water. I'm so grateful he is at a teaching hospital so others can learn from him.

I've rarely had a more gentle pelvic exam. I'd been very nervous for the visit as it was for increased pain post hysterectomy. It was less painful than exams I've had when completely healthy (by other practitioners).

Dr Sharp is the most compassionate, gentle and patient soul. He is by far the finest OB/Gyn I have ever seen (and I had many and know many because I am a nurse). Not only does he possess an exemplary professional bedside manner, he is exceptionally skilled, intelligent and ethical which ensures my safety and the quality of care I receive. I can rest assured that Dr Sharp is a perceptive listener and that my viewpoints will be taken into account with all decision making and prescriptive treatment advice. Because Dr Sharp is a gifted teacher, his explanations about diseases, diagnostic testing and treatment protocols are communicated on a level that is readily understandable by his patients.
