My story is very short and simple. I have been a patient of Dr. Sharon Scanlon since before she was a MDVIP doctor. She is, in my opinion, what every doctor should be...a good listener, concerned and caring, and up to date on the newest medical information so she can help one make educated medical decisions. She answers emails and phone calls the same day and I have never had a problem getting… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Scanlon
Dr. Sharon Scanlon is always good but she was particularly helpful and attentive to me with a very specialized question about genetic testing for pancreatic cancer, which runs in my family, and she assisted me on and provided great guidance and follow up.
On Valentines’s Day I loved Dr. Scanlon’s MDVIP service. I had a frightening episode and called her cell number early in the evening and she immediately picked up. She said it didn’t sound like a stroke, which was one of my concerns, but advised me to take an aspirin and said she would check in later before sending me to the ER. She called back later in the evening on Valentine’s Day and we… See more
Health calamities have a way of occurring at night and on weekends. The automatic message is to visit a nearby ER which seems always busiest and least accommodating at night and on weekends, More than once over the last four months I have had urgent medical needs where, without recourse to Dr. Scanlon, I would have landed in the ER. Because Dr. Scanlon makes herself available at all times… See more

Dr Sharon Scanlon was recommended to me by my daughter, who is a physician herself. I am so grateful she did as I find Dr Scanlon a most caring, gentle doctor and is up to the minute on all medical matters.
It is no wonder that her patients speak so highly of her.
Zelda Heller.
Dr. Sharon Scanlon is always available to her patients. She allows you to come to her office to share your worries with her. She listens carefully is positive in her responses and allows you to leave her office happier than when you came in. Her wonderful staff and well stacked snacks also help.
A little more than several years ago, on an Sunday afternoon in April, I had a bike accident where I suffered amnesia. Some neighborhood folks saw me laying on the ground, unconscious, with my bike on top of me. They picked me and my bike up, drove me home (I guess I was lucid enough to tell them where I lived), and asked if I wanted them to take me to the hospital. I was in sort of a daze… See more
