MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER

My lower back pain began 30 years ago. My pain increased; treatments did little to help. My medicated mind lost touch with reality. After 4 months in bed, I wanted to just die. From the moment I met Dr. Sharif, we clicked. He overcame my extreme fear of back surgery; he quickly earned my respect and trust. I placed my life in his able hands for surgery. He literally saved my life. Family and friends now say,"The Linda we used to know is back!" Thanks to the exceptional Henderson staff, too!

My surgery was very complicated anf after 12 weeks i feel great

On March 15, 2019 Dr. Sharif replaced discs L4 and L5 with titanium cages and fused the spine including S1. After just 1 week I was walking without pain and not taking any pain meds. I am now at week 5 and feel great! I can drive again and even though I am still supposed to be taking it easy, I feel like I can do anything. I will hopefully be out of the back brace within the next 6 weeks and get back to my usual routines. I highly recommend Dr. Sharif, his attention to detail and taking th

His whole demeanor is a breath of fresh air. I really research my medical situations and like to ask specific questions of my doctors before deciding upon surgery and how it will be done and he actually went full depth into what he was planning to do. He's so caring that he called on his night off to the hospital where I was convalescing after surgery to discuss my pain med options (could hear his kids in the background). I will have him work on any future spine issues I might have for sure!

Dr Sharif is just plain outstanding. I had major back surgery 7 weeks ago. He took the time to explain everything to me prior to the surgery and to make sure I understood exactly what was going to take place. He explained the timelines etc of the recovery process and I am right where he said I would be. I had my surgery at the new Henderson hospital from admission, recovery and discharge I felt as if I was being treated by caring family. This staff is the very best!

I like to tell about my surgeon performance back on December I fell much better from my condition (Herniated Disk) no pain at all. Thank you Dr. Sharif

Saw him for about 20 years. Unfortunately, he has no compassion. He makes you feel bad about yourself. And makes you feel like you are lying to get pain meds. It’s not a good experience. Don’t give up!! Just look elsewhere. This is coming from someone whose had a lifetime of pain.

OMG! I hit the mother load! Dr. Sharif, Is one of the most CARING doctors I have ever dealt with. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of my surgery. He went over and over my images with and without me. I had back and neck pain for years. I have no pain at all. My surgery was August 29th, 2018. Just had 6 month follow -up . Standing, reaching, exercising. This is what 71 years old feels like... Thank you! L. Mallory

Dr. Sharif is really attentive to his patients. He answers any question and concerns you may have. My surgery went great and I didn't have any complications. I have no more back pain and was up back to regular routines right away. I would totally recommend Dr. Sharif to any of my friends and family if they need to have spine surgery.

Dr. Sharif is AMAZING. He helped my husband when no one else would. Performed his spine surgery and my husband is feeling better than he has in years!! Great communication and really showed empathy for his patients. We wouldn’t go anywhere else ever again!
