I can't thank Dr. Sharan enough! I herniated a disc in my back a few years ago and one day before I left for a very special trip to Hawaii, I triggered something where I was in excruciating pain and couldn't walk. I was extremely worried I wouldn't make my trip! I tried to get an emergency appointment with my original Dr. who is a top spine surgeon in Westchester and was told no one could see me and to try the emergency room. I was able to get an emergency appointment with Dr. Sharan that day and told him my concerns about not making the trip and he immediately said "Don't worry, we will get you there!" and he did! He prescribed a 6 day oral steroid treatment which began working quickly and allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation! And good thing he was able to get me to Hawaii because I ended up getting ENGAGED on my trip! He's such a nice man and very knowledgeable. Can't thank him enough!

Dr. Sharan performed 3 surgeries on my spine. He performed disc replacement at top of my spine in 2007. He also performed herniated disc surgery, which had to be performed several years later because of an injury on the job in 2010. I can honestly say with no hesitation, I agreed to the surgeries. Dr. Sharon was quite straightforward in explaining my problems and made me feel quite comfortable and positive about the outcome. I can honestly say, aside from a lil arthritis, I am good. I exercise every day and I also ride my bicycle for pain management. I think I would be in a wheelchair, if it wasn't i for Dr. Sharan's healing hands. Love my Doctor!
