What Patients Say About Dr Sharkey

Dr. Sharkey was the first medical doctor I met who understood how difficult it is to access real help if you are in the medical system when you have had breast cancer surgery and now have lymphodema to deal with.  Marie, Dublin

Four years ago, we took our 9-year-old to Dr. Anthony Sharkey because of nosebleeds. We had already been to the ED department several times, and the ENT doctor didn’t have much to offer. In 10 minutes, Dr. Anthony Sharkey performed an energy Medicine technique. He suggested a traditional remedy; she had not had one nosebleed since. E. Dublin

Menopause has been a difficult journey for me.  I have been sceptical of alternatives before but when I knew that Dr. Anthony Sharkey had a foot in both camps I decided to book an appointment. before I consulted with Dr. Anthony Sharkey I had a lot of anxiety and I was having panic attacks. I found this very difficult to deal with. There was a build up inside of me – I was worried about my loved ones. I am delighted and thrilled to have discovered Dr. Sharkey. Meeting him has been a huge benefit to me. I definitely found these few months were so much easier to get through compared to all the other years especially last year. I now have a fantastic inner calm physically and mentally and I can handle panic and anxiety much more easily. Thank you! P. Kildare

My 17-year-old had a painful knee that was causing him to limp and to have to use a crutch at school. He loves GAA and had to stop training and playing. We brought him to physios, etc., who suggested he had a ligament issue and recommended an MRI scan. Before the scan, I got him to Dr Anthony Sharkey. After three sessions, he was walking normally and training usually. It is like a miracle. Also, we have not needed get a scan. R. Naas Co. Kildare

Our 7-month-old granddaughter had terrible eczema on her face. Her doctor prescribed a mild steroid cream that worked only when we used it. When we stopped using it, the eczema returned in a day or two. After advice from the first phone call session with Dr Sharkey she immediately started improving.

Previously, I had to go to Turkey to find a functional Medicine doctor. It is so great to now have my own medically trained doctor who can can understand the advanced functional medicine blood tests. Y. Dublin

I took one of Dr. Anthony Sharkey’s Mindfulness courses several years ago, and I can mark that time when all relationships changed for the better. Why? Because I learned how to love myself. The first of many benefits I noticed was that I was sleeping better. Denise, Galway
