I have seen Dr Sharf off and on for years. He is very to the point and despite what some would call arrogant or curt I know him to genuinely care about his patients. If he feels you are not listening he will let you know. He is experienced and an excellent family practitioner. If you want a Dr who will be straight with you this is your guy. He believes in always doing what is best for his patient and he will do just that.
