Plum Spring Clinic
About us
The current Plum Spring Clinic is the result of a long metamorphosis of intertwined professional and personal development. In 1998, our Medical Director, Dr. Michael Sharp, was a faculty member of the UNC School of Medicine beginning to question the efficacy of the medicine he was trained in, and with a personal diagnosis of cancer. His sabbatical year of recovery included immersion in the study of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, which opened the doors to a new world of holistic, systems-based thinking about illness, healing, and well-being.We spent the next 10 years building on that foundation, opening the Plum Spring Clinic to offer holistic care. We embraced Functional Medicine, which begins in fundamental respect for the innate genius of the physical body to repair and heal, and applies the filter of human biochemistry to the sleuthing of roots of illness.
