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.
