      "Dr. Sharp is board certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine. His clinical interests include special interest in obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, dyslipidemia, fatty liver, and other insulin-resistance related metabolic diseases. He is also fascinated by the psychology of behavior change. ""My practice involves all aspects of general internal medicine, from preventive medicine to both acute and chronic disease management. After years of frustration preaching the same tired message of eat less/exercise more, I finally decided to really delve into the science and politics of where most of our conventional wisdom regarding diet and exercise come from. This ignited a passion for weight management and metabolic disease treatment ultimately leading to gaining additional board certification in Obesity Medicine. I've been on a mission to truly deliver evidence-based nutrition and efficient exercise advice to my patients using ancestral health and evolutionary biology principles based on low refined carbohydrate nutrition plans ever since. It's been the single most rewarding change to my clinical practice since I started out of residency. Internal medicine physicians are notorious for having a medication for virtually any problem. Now, medications are my last resort and the cornerstone of my clinical practice is based on individually tailored diet and efficient exercise plans that allow my patients to enjoy life to the fullest without starving themselves or exercising to death. I’m excited to start a new Lifestyle and Metabolic Medicine program.""". Dr. Sharp is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis. His top areas of expertise are Food Allergy, Abdominal Obesity Metabolic Syndrome, Type B Insulin Resistance Syndrome, and Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency.

      What is the definition of Interstitial Cystitis?

      Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a long-term (chronic) problem in which pain, pressure, or burning is present in the bladder. It is often associated with urinary frequency or urgency. It is also called painful bladder syndrome.

      When should I see an Interstitial Cystitis doctor near Seattle, WA?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing an Interstitial Cystitis doctor near Seattle, WA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Interstitial Cystitis doctors near Seattle, WA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Interstitial Cystitis doctors near Seattle, WA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with an Interstitial Cystitis doctor near Seattle, WA?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Interstitial Cystitis doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Interstitial Cystitis doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with an Interstitial Cystitis doctor near Seattle, WA?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Interstitial Cystitis doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Interstitial Cystitis doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Interstitial Cystitis doctors near Seattle, WA?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Interstitial Cystitis doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find an Interstitial Cystitis doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Interstitial Cystitis doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
