“Unbelievable surgeon and human being”
I cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Sharan enough. My back feels great and the operating room and surgery experience was very reassuring. I was treated with dignity and respect every step of the way.

“I have already referred 4 more people here...”
Dr. Sharan is a brilliant man and one of the best doctors I have seen (and I see a lot of doctors). He is kind, compassionate, thorough and very calming. He treats you like a person, not a number. He is instantly likable and trustworthy. You can just tell that he knows what he is talking about. My surgery went very well (Awake Spinal Fusion) and he called me every morning for three days after the surgery to check on me. He never hesitated to answer all of my questions and he alleviated any concerns that came up right away. I am disappointed that I have to wait another six weeks to see him again! Great doctor, great guy. Thank you Dr. Sharan!

“Turned my anxiety into understanding pain”
Very caring and spent time to explain the surgery I was to go through. Personally called to ask how I was doing after surgery.
