Patient Reviews
Jun 19, 2021
I am forever grateful for Dr. Sharf. He is professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. I went to him for a second opinion regarding my herniated discs. He answered all my questions and concerns. I never felt hurried or ignored. Dr. Sharf truly listens to me. I had a disc replacement surgery and it was a total success. Thank you Dr. Sharf!
