Dr. Sharpless has been an accredited surgeon since 1994 and is certified by both the American Board of Surgery and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Following the completion of her fellowship training in surgical oncology (cancer surgery) at the University of Illinois, she entered private practice as a specialist who is dedicated to giving high quality, compassionate care to each patient she serves.
In private practice in the Chicago area since 1998, she provides services to patients at Advocate Condell Medical Center as well as at her office in Lake Forest. Her close working relationships with various medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and plastic surgeons on the North Shore, in Chicago, and in other states provide opportunities for her patients to receive the best services available.
