Patient Reviews
Nov 23, 2023
Dr. Scharf has been my dr for well over 20 years. Has always been outstanding but recently find he is too quick to get me out of the office. I understand he's involved now with a elderly facility so I'm OK with this because I have been able to get scheduled with a P.A. named Kaitlin and she's incredibly knowledgeable and takes her time with me. Definitely a plus for Mainline Medical.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
