Plum Spring Clinic

From a simple intake conversation with Dr Sharp he had me get a few simple blood tests. The tests determined what my body was missing because of a fairly common anomaly. Two vitamins and my depression, anxiety WNL and the suicidal ideation is gone!!
Now i need to do some talk therapy and im very happy with that also. So happy with Lorre and Dr. Sharp. 🩵

My experience at Plum Spring Clinic has been wonderful! The clinic is the antithesis of corporate medicine: it is a place of highly skilled, intelligent, and respectful healers who utilize the very best of science to help their patients. They also understand the role of beauty, attitude, intuition, and compassion in promoting wellness.

For decades, I had experienced chronic fatigue and I seemed to catch every virus that wandered my way so that I was sometimes bedridden for up to 6 months annually. Dr. Sharpe, Nate and Kathleen were all very helpful in turning this around. Dr. Sharpe listened attentively to my narrative and recommended tests that I had never heard of. The results of his analysis--and the supplements that were recommended--have improved my health enormously.

Thank you Dr. Sharpe and thank you Nate for taking the time to educate me about the internal processes that support a healthy human. Thank you Kathleen for recommending the awesome book about implementing mindfulness to change one's mind and body. Your team provided me with treatment that was more comprehensive than any I have ever received in a medical setting. Because of your care I feel ALIVE AGAIN and I am deeply grateful.

I can say with confidence that Plum Spring Clinic restored my health and my wellbeing. I went to see them after having had unexplained digestive issues on-and-off for at least a year and a half that eventually landed me one day at the nearest ER with sharp abdominal pain. I had a CT scan and was diagnosed with colon inflammation and given a bunch of antibiotics. At that point I had completely lost confidence in trying to get better by going through the regular channels (seeing doctors and getting “medication” treatment at one of the two main medical centers in the area). Knowing what I was after, a friend mentioned Plum Spring Clinic. I immediately read every word they had in their website, but what made me call and make the appointment was the little video of Dr. Sharp explaining the process he himself went through, that led him to abandon traditional occidental medicine, do research on other ways of healing and open his own health center.

The minute I stepped in their beautiful Medicine House, set in a gorgeously landscaped large yard, I felt that this was the right place for me. Immediately after my initial appointment with Dr. Sharp, where he proposed what he considered the right length of treatment and the cost and briefly described it, I made my decision to go ahead and sign the contract. I had such confidence in him and Nate (who I also met that first day) that I made a really big commitment of time and money without major hesitation. I knew that the nutrition part and the supplements were a big part of it and that there would also be health coaching and sessions of Somatic Experiencing. I knew that they were going to look at my whole lifestyle - physically, mentally and spiritually and try to show me better ways of going about things, but I didn’t know how they were going to do it.

And they delivered. The care I got from Dr Michael Sharp, Nate Kelly (Nutritionist) and Kathleen Williams (Health Coach) was exceptional. My gut is completely healed. But the process was so much more than that. I was at a very crucial time in my life when I started the program, right in the middle of a very difficult personal crisis that I’m sure contributed greatly to my digestive problems. With their expertise and compassion they gave me the tools to have the strength -physical and mental- I needed to go through my crisis and come out on the other side a changed, healed person, inside and out. I will be forever thankful to them.

Dr. Sharp worked together with me to save my life. I had severe problems with my digestion, had been brushed off and demeaned by a condescending GI specialist at UNC, and had wasted away from an active, vibrant person to a skeleton (less than 100 pounds at 5'9"!!) with a miserable, painful existence in which I was unable to work, see friends, or enjoy life. There was no indication it would ever change, which was terrifying. Dr. Sharp listened to me, treated me like a human being with a contribution to make in the healing process and a life worth saving. The testing he ordered showed very plainly that the GI specialist was wrong - I had contracted a few different parasites and an h pylori infection. This diagnosis saved me - from there I worked with Dr. Sharp to come up with a treatment plan that I was comfortable with and immediately began my journey back to life and health. I am certain if I continued the conventional route, I would have ended up with unnecessary surgery on my intestines and a host of new problems resulting from the side effects of the aggressive pharmaceutical and antibiotic treatments typically prescribed for my condition (and for which Dr. Sharp knew I was a poor candidate in the condition I was in). Instead, I chose a slower route of diet and supplementation, and am all the better for it now. Throughout, Dr. Sharp treated me as a collaborator in my health plan. The new service model at Plum Spring would have been ideal for my situation, and I'm glad it's available to others.

With genuine kindness and compassion born of his own healing journey, Dr. Sharp creates an environment in which one can feel safe and empowered to find wellness. Skilled in traditional Western allopathic medicine, Chinese medicine and modern trauma healing techniques, Dr. Sharp is a truly holistic physician, with a truly holistic practice. Health coach Kathleen Williams and nutrition specialist Nate Kelly provide compassionate, wise, expert guidance in navigating the healing journey. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

My experience with Kathleen’s coaching has been transformative and grounding. Her warm presence combined with her guiding intuition helped me move from conditioned reactivity to compassionate and skillful responsiveness. She creates a trusting relational environment that allows one to explore inside with courage, creativity and care. I highly recommend!

Although I do not live in the triangle, I visit regularly and have been treated three times by Dr Michael Sharp. Each visit he took time to thoroughly understand the situation and asked adjacent questions. His diagnosis and treatment were always excellent. I still follow much of his overall advice a long time later because it is so helpful. I feel seen and treated very holistically and whole heartedly recommend the Plum Spring Clinic.

My appointments are Plum sping were always fantastic. I felt well attended to and was given substantial personal time with practitioners. I especially enjoyed appointments with Dr. Sharp. I never felt rushed, he listens extremely well, and is attentive and caring. I highly recommend him.

The whole team has been very helpful in my journey to health. Dr. Sharp incorporates trauma treatment to help resolve chronic issues as needed, Nate is a very helpful guide for nutrition and supplements, and Kathleen is a wealth of experience and guidance to better self care and emotional regulation. Highly recommend if you’re struggling to find answers to chronic illness

Dr Sharp has seen three of our four family members. What he did for my wife changed her life for the better. He got the "big picture" view of her health situation, recommended a path and it worked. She wishes she had seen him years before.

Dr. Sharp & Kathleen are amazing health resources locally. I have received numerous treatments at Plum Spring over the years that have without question changed my life! I can not recommend The Plum Spring Clinic highly enough! Thank you Michael & Kathleen.

This is what medicine should be like. Caring, listening, treating the whole person with integrative knowledge, expertise and wisdom. Dr Sharp is a real treasure! For anyone going through cancer, visit his new cancer clinic- this kind of care has not existed in our area until now and is so incredibly valuable as cancer is not just physical, it is mental and emotional. His team offers exceptional support no matter your healing journey.

Going to see Dr. Sharp was one of the best medical decisions I've ever made. Rather than see my issues as list of different symptoms, to be fixed with a cocktail of several different medications, he listened to everything I had to say and looked for the root causes of my medical problems. Exactly what you would expect from a Holistic doctor, of course, but this was my first experience with alternative medicine; needless to say, it was a positive one. Several of my medical issues have been resolved, including being able to get off of injected insulin and the end of my insomnia. My only complaint is not with Dr. Sharp, but with my health insurance provider which forces me into the one size fits all, cookie cutter health care system.

Despite debilitating symptoms, several doctors said they could find nothing "wrong" with me. I'd lost most hope for ever being well again until I found Dr. Sharp. I will always have much respect and gratitude for his care, kindness, and deep understanding of how the human body and mind work. He dug deeper than the average doctor to get to the root causes of my ailments. I'm healthy again, and I'm so incredibly thankful for the help I received.

Michael not only turned my health around; he turned my life around. Without a doubt my cancer remission today is a direct result of Michael’s personalized wellness program which was implemented by he and his staff, Kathleen and Nate, at that time. My mind, body and soul benefits form his wholistic approach. I recommend him highly.

I have known Dr. Michael Sharp for over 12 years and know him to be a caring, compassionate healer. I could not recommend him with any stronger enthusiasm to anyone who wants whole body, mind and spirit attention in their healing.

I refer everyone I know to Plum Spring Clinic. Dr. Sharp is the most compassionate MD I’ve ever worked with and the treatment he uses gets to the root of the problem rather than just masking the symptoms. I’m so glad to have this resource in our area.

Dr. Sharp takes the time to look at you as a person, and has amazing insight to many problems other doctors overlook. He is a true professional with great wisdom and compassion. An amazing doctor!

Dr. Sharp is a wonderful practitioner: enormously thoughtful, well-informed, and skillful. He's as insightful and caring as any physician I've known. He not only saved my knees but my life.

Plum Spring Clinic and Dr Sharp provide exceptional care. No where else will you find care as compassionate and holistic,. Dr Sharp will take your spirit, mind and body into account, and develop a personalized plan.
