At Plum Spring Clinic, we have a distinct approach to healthcare. Our medical director, Dr. Michael Sharp, is an experienced physician who was trained at Harvard and taught at the UNC School of Medicine for twenty years. After practicing conventional medicine for some time, Dr. Sharp became dissatisfied with the results and embarked on a personal journey towards understanding true healing as opposed to simply medicating and masking symptoms.
Dr. Sharp’s own encounter with a serious illness prompted him to explore Functional Medicine, which focuses on identifying the underlying causes of chronic illnesses by examining the breakdown of healthy bodily functions. Over the course of 25 years, Dr. Sharp has applied this approach to patients who haven’t found relief through conventional medicine. Through his work, he has learned that many chronic health and mood issues can be traced back to unresolved traumatic stress.
Now, Dr. Sharp and his team of two coach-healers welcome patients who are experiencing intertwined mood and physical problems. They believe that the combination of Functional Medicine and Internal Family Systems therapy can effectively address these issues.
Dr. Sharp’s power to help people lies in his long journey into the healing arts. He comes from a lineage of physicians including his father, grandmother, and a great great grandfather who was featured in Ripley’s Believe-It-or-Not for traveling great distances to make house calls.
I’m deeply committed to walking alongside my clients on their healing journey. My approach weaves skillfulness and compassion to gently address the roots of unease—such as anxiety and depression—that often arise from early trauma and chronic stress. My passion is helping clients tap into their essential Self energy and cultivate nurturing, befriending relationships with their inner parts.
I firmly believe that all beings possess an innate, organic, healing intelligence. I believe this because of my own journey of healing from complex trauma. Having experienced significant liberation from depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and debilitating pain, I am inspired to accompany others on the path of healing and psychospiritual growth.
Plum Spring Clinic’s functional nutritionist, her integrative training results in an approach to wellness that includes not just dietary habits, but physical activity, stress, sleep patterns, and other lifestyle issues. She has co-authored several books on health including The Acid Reflux Solution: A Cookbook and Lifestyle Guide for Healing Heartburn Naturally.
Plum Spring Clinic: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful experience with IFS coaching. It is incredibly hard to find available IFS coaching or therapy, so I feel like I really lucked out with Plum Springs clinic. They have a great deal of expertise and IFS and are very adept at compassionately working with people to help them heal psychologically.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: 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!
Experiencia positiva: we need an accurate account of what holistic doctors actually do. You might get some tea.
Experiencia fantástica: A caring and compassionate integrative clinic.
Thank you, Gretchen. I hope we've helped.
Experiencia fantástica: I would give this clinic a million stars. All. the. stars. They are amazing!!! Saved my life and my son's life. Love them. Recommend to everyone.
Thanks, Rebekah! What a pleasure to work with you ~~ I think the benefit goes both ways.
Experiencia fantástica: So thankful for Dr Sharp!
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: I have never felt as listened to and so assisted towards health and wholeness as I did with Michael Sharp and Plum Springs Clinic.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharp is a wonderful doctor, and an even better person. He loves digging into the weeds of your physical ailment in order to find a solution. Do yourself a favor, go see him!
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia positiva: Dr. Sharp was great with my two year old and with helping to figure out his digestive issues using tests covered by our insurance plan.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful clinic that gets to the root of the problem and doesn’t just prescribe drugs to eliminate symptoms.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharp is a wonderful caring doctor saved my life!
Experiencia fantástica: 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
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderfull service and staff.
Experiencia fantástica: Plum Spring Clinic is a wonderful place to get holistic wellness results. I had an issue with an autoimmune chronic disorder and inflammation. I learned so much from the lab work and analysis from Dr Sharp. Nate, the dietitian used the lab results to formulate a nutritional plan that has worked to reduce inflammation. Kathleen, the coach helped me identify life goals based on a wholistic approach and use strategies to focus on my realistic, achievable goals.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Without a doubt, Plum Spring Clinic provides excellent medical evaluation as well as solutions to achieving health through their careful analysis and subsequent treatment, their intelligent care, and their prompt responsiveness. Thank you, thank you, thank you: Plum Spring Clinic: Dr. Michael Sharp, Kathleen Williams, and Nate Kelly.
Experiencia fantástica: 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!
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Drawing close to the completion of a 5-month program, I can absolutely say that it has changed my life. Dr. Sharpe, Kathleen, and Nate have encouraged me as I changed my diet, my routines, the way I deal with stress, and how I think about my body and life experience in general. I was skeptical before starting that it would be worth what I'd pay, but as I come near the end, I can see how much different of a person I am now. It has been worth every penny.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Very thoughtful and thorough about my issue.
Experiencia fantástica: Finding this clinic was an answered prayer. I asked for support designing a healing plan that comes from Divine guidance and the latest in complementary, alternative medicine. All the practitioners are sensitive, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you.
Experiencia fantástica: Professional. Caring. Committed. I was very impressed with their facility and their approach to wellness and healing.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: The environment was calm and comfortable, the Dr. and staff all listened and were kind, considerate and I felt they really cared to help me find solutions.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharp was the only doctor who was able to correctly diagnose and effectively treat my illness.
Experiencia fantástica: I went here several years ago for my primary care and gynecology care as well as massage therapy, physical therapy and exercise. I loved this place and all the practioners I dealt with were fantastic! I miss them all.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharp is a talented and caring physician. I always hear excellent feedback from my patients when I refer them to Dr. Sharp and team for co-management.
Experiencia fantástica: After visiting multiple other doctors without success, Dr. Sharp helped me figure out exactly what was contributing to my health issues and was very thorough in his approach to resolving them.
Experiencia fantástica: The doctor who listens to the patient and what a concept. I discussed my health longer in one session than in 20 years of assembly line volume doctor visits combined. Highly recommend the services provided...
Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at Plum Spring is invested in my care. The atmosphere is calm and kind. Dr. Sharp is a consummate diagnostician. He never blames the patient. He stays with people until the last piece of the puzzle is in place for health.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Full service, cutting edge, compassionate, digs deep into root causes and solutions !
Experiencia fantástica: So happy Plumbspring Clinic is back! I went there to the original clinic a few years ago but they unfortunately had to close the practice. While I was there, I was so pleased with their approach to figuring out what was 'wrong' with me and help me to feel better! I may go back again now that they've reopened. My previous experience was definitely positive and helpful and everyone I dealt with there was kind, helpful, knowledgeable and informative. If you feel like 'crap' and don't know why, perhaps this is the answer for you. They look beyond the surface and look for natural ways to help you without discounting that sometimes people do have health issues that actually do require a prescription drug to combat. They treat the whole person. I think that is key.
Experiencia fantástica: Dick and I both have had positive, helpful experiences to help us improve our overall health. We are feeling great!
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharp has been the only functional practitioner that has ever come close to resolving my fatigue related issues. Given the countless variables that must be considered in identifying the source of ones health related challenges, his bio chemistry background coupled with his functional approach allow for a wide range of natural or traditional treatment options. Thank you Dr. Sharp!!
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable & compassionate care. Dr. Sharp worked with me to uncover causes, & facilitate a return to vibrant health.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharp combines the humanist and the academic into being an outstanding physician.
Experiencia fantástica: I have known Michael Sharp for many years. He is a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr Sharp is a warm, empathic doctor who listens and provides outstanding care to his patients.
