Dr. Sharp is thoughtful, kind, and empathetic. He listens and cares. I never feel rushed; he always acts as though I am his only patient that day. I have full confidence he will take good care of me. He is highly experienced, skilled, and respected. He has never caused me any pain during any procedure. He calls me promptly when test results come back and explains the results with clarity. I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Sharp as my doctor! He is the best!!!

I appreciated Dr. Sharp addressing my other health problems in relation to the planning of this procedure. I told him that I had 3 - 4 days of pain after the endometrial biopsy and he addressed the fiibromyalgia, telling me about a recent study. I felt "heard" and the prolonged pain made more sense to me. Thank you!!

Dr Sharp has been my gynocologist for over 20 years. He is extremely competent, kind, and caring. He is an excellent listener and he always includes me in treatment decisions. I have complete faith and confidence in him, and I can tell him anything and he'll understand. We've been through an especially grueling experience together during the past 3 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, but he has stuck right by me throughout, even during the pandemic. My husband and I think the world of him and we believe there's not a better doctor on the planet than Dr. Sharp. We are most grateful!

Im not sure I have enough space to write my experiece as a patient of Dr. Sharp. He is an amazing dr., he listens, he explains, he understands and acknowledges my pain, I never feel like a number or rushed and he offers hope and provides medical help for mental health as well as my physical issue.

I'm not sure I can ever say enough positive things about Dr. Sharp. The most compassionate and caring human being. I feel so lucky to be his patient. He explained everything regarding my postop healing and what to expect each few weeks so simply and realistically. He answered all of my questions and made sure everything was answered and explained. Outstanding bedside manner.

Dr. Sharp might just be one of the kindest humans I've ever met. He was very friendly and talked to me like I was his only concern. He explained every option I had regarding my condition. He gave me the risks and benefits of each option and didn't try to sugarcoat the very small, but very real, risks of my chosen surgery. I feel very confident in his abilities and am SO glad I found him to help me.

This was our first appointment with Dr Sharp. He was very kind, explained everything well to both the patient and her care givers. As he performed the biopsy, he explained everything as he did the procedure and was thorough in what to expect in the days following as the site healed. He made sure all of our questions were answered before he left the room.

He didn't have my records from my doctor - I wished he would have told me he didn't have them BEFORE we met so I could get them for him because it was an inactionable meeting AND my doctor is SURE that she sent them

My obgyn passed away. I had been going to him for almost 20 years and had never had another established obgyn. I was sad and nervous to have to start going to a new one. I was very relieved when I found that my new doctor seems very compassionate and empathetic, smart and thorough. I hope I don't have to change doctors again for a long time. I'm so sad about Dr. Summers Dr. Sharp seems promising

Dr Sharp is the gold standard in medical care. He is attentive, knowledgeable, and has outstanding bedside manner. I always feel that he takes the time to let me share my concerns and I never feel rushed. He sees the "big picture", taking into account all of my health concerns and how they interrelate. Even though I'm frustrated with my current situation, I know he is committed to helping me find answers. Thank you, Dr Sharp!

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.
