Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Scharf?
Dr. Scharf has been my dr for well over 20 years. Has always been outstanding but recently find he is too quick to get me out of the office. I understand he's involved now with a elderly facility so I'm OK with this because I have been able to get scheduled with a P.A. named Kaitlin and she's incredibly knowledgeable and takes her time with me. Definitely a plus for Mainline Medical.
