Dr Lisa Sharkey 2023-03-24 Person 5 5 0

I would without hesitation recommend Dr Sharkey to anyone wanting a doctor who delivers an extremely high standard of care. She is able to think laterally on a slightly more unusual case such as mine, and draw from her vast knowledge and expertise. She has made sure I can access the resources I need. She has a good ability to consider the 'whole person' and converse and coordinate between various departments and other consultants/professionals. She listened to my unspecific symptoms (where others were dismissive) and persevered to enable me to get further diagnosis for a progressive disease (outside of her area) that is now being treated earlier than it would have been. She considers my issues in other areas when dealing with my gastro issues which is important to me. She explains everything to a depth and level that is suitable to my level of understanding. Her communication to me as a patient is clear, concise and reassuring. Whilst being honest, managing my expectations and showing empathy, her communication style allows me to feel I can trust her to ensure I get the correct care and to help improve my quality of life in the areas that matter to me.
