Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would not recommend Dr. Sharkey.
Unfortunately, I found Dr. Sharkey to be very unprofessional and very immature. I have been a patient in this office for years and had a wonderful relationship with the previous doctor.

Dr. Sharkey is the first doctor I have had that listens to me, and looks at the symptoms and the full picture. I feel like she is actively trying to HELP me. She wants an answer as much as I do. She is kind, and compassionate, and she's been a great support for me.

I have suffered from migraines for over 40 years. I am also disabled due to hyperosmia. My medical history is well documented due to the many specialists that I have seen over the years. Dr. Sharkey decided that my migraines and disability would vanish if I stopped taking my medications. Her opinion was not backed up by any of my medical records.
