Philosophy of care | I believe in giving each patient time to explain their problem and then working with them to find safe, effective solutions. Informative and comprehensive discussions with my patients, plus quality care, yields long-lasting and trusting relationships. | Why I entered medicine | I always felt my role in life was to help others. Growing up with a physician father, I experienced the satisfaction being a doctor gave him and I wanted the same for myself. | Community involvement | I organize and run school fundraisers and charity programs. During the holiday season, I volunteer with meal delivery. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my two children, watching my daughter play volleyball and hearing her sing in an a cappella group at school. I spend time cycling and exercising in my time off. I am also very lucky to have many family members in the area. Dr. Scharf is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hearing Loss. His top areas of expertise are Hearing Loss, Palatopharyngeal Incompetence, Infant Hearing Loss, and Deafness Hypogonadism Syndrome.
