    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!!!
