David Scharf, MD

This is not for the doctor. It is for his office. My husband had an appointment for over a month. My husband was in need of seeing a Neurologist. He waited a month to get in even with an urgent referral. He was told that his appointment time was 5pm on Monday. When he got a confirmation call the secretary never said the time, just confirming for Monday. He couldn’t call back till Monday as the office was closed. On Monday my husband calls reconfirming and they say it was for that morning and he missed it. They couldn’t reschedule him anytime soon and very very unhelpful.

The 5 star reviews of Dr. Scharf are spot on. I found him via the Aetna website, noticed he was one of the few doctors with high ratings on Unilocal,and decided to give him a try. I’m so glad I did.
I’ve dealt with migraines since I was a child, and was starting to feel hopeless trying medication after medication, to try and control them. Dr. Scharf is one of the most thorough, compassionate, and knowledgeable doctors I have ever been to.
Instead of sending in a nurse to get your information, and bouncing between rooms of patients with only a quick glance at your paperwork, Dr. Scharf actually spends the time to go through your information with you, and address your concerns. He is well-​versed in homeopathic remedies, and makes lifestyle change suggestions, instead of just blindly doling out prescriptions. He takes your concerns seriously, and is willing to work closely with you to determine a treatment plan. I never feel rushed, or that he is dismissive of any concerns I have, which means a lot to someone with a persistent «invisible» illness like migraines.
I really can’t say enough good things about Dr. Scharf. He is just an all-​around stellar doctor, and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Scharf is everything that a doctor should be and more. A lot of the new doctors will simply tell you «I don’t know» and try to get rid of you when they encounter a case that’s not straight forward. Dr. Scharf is an excellent listener and exudes confidence and knowledge. From the moment that you enter his office, you feel his compassion and empathy. He does not order any unnecessary tests and makes sure that once you leave his office you feel better. thank you Dr. Scharf for being there for us during the tough times.

After going to several specialists trying to figure out the source of my health issues, I had forgotten what it is like to interact with kind, patient, caring doctor! Dr. Scharf was everything that you would look for in a doctor. He took his time, he was genuinely concerned and he was the first doctor to say «I believe you» which was so reassuring since I have questioned myself at times knowing something is wrong, but getting no answers. His front office secretary is also so sweet and helpful. I only wish he was a Rheumatologist so that I would have him as my main specialist.

Dr. Scharf not only explained everything clearly, he was friendly and has such a sweet personality. I had a nerve conduction test today which is not the most comfortable procedure to have done in a doctor’s office. He chatted with me the entire time and it turned out to be a lot easier than I anticipated. I highly recommend him for his knowledge and bedside manner. His front office staff is also efficient and extremely personable.

Dr. Scharf is the most patient doctor I have ever been to. Whereas most doctors are hasty and try to quickly get you out of their office, Dr. Scharf is the opposite. He spent a great deal of time with me on my first visit patiently listening to my symptoms. Then, he even spent time with me on an unscheduled drop-​by to explain my MRI results. I had just stopped by the office to pick the films up from him after he had already spoken to me about them on the phone. But was willing to go over in even more detail with me. He is both personable and professional and I can’t say enough about him. I highly recommend him.
