Description

Dr. John Sharpe is a sports medicine surgeon in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Prisma Health. Born just outside Philadelphia and raised in rural southern Illinois, he attended Southern Illinois University School of Medicine before completing his residency training with the Columbia USC Prisma Health Orthopedic Surgery Program. He then pursued a sports medicine fellowship in Detroit, gaining hands-on experience with professional and community athletes while training in the most advanced surgical techniques available. As a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sharpe is dedicated to helping athletes of all levels from elite competitors to weekend warriors return to play safely and confidently. He utilizes the full spectrum of treatment options, from non operative approaches such as rehabilitation and injections to advanced surgical interventions. His clinical interests include ACL injuries, complex knee conditions, shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, shoulder instability, meniscal injuries, cartilage problems and deformity correction. Growing up in an active community and having been sidelined by injuries himself, Dr. Sharpe understands the deep personal impact of being unable to do what you love. Whether helping a patient pick up their grandchildren again or return to high level performance, he is passionate about guiding individuals back to an active lifestyle that supports long term wellbeing and quality of life. Dr. Sharpe empowers patients by helping them fully understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and the broader health factors that influence recovery. He emphasizes nutrition, overall medical wellness, preventive exercise, and a collaborative decision making process to ensure each patient chooses the path that is right for them. Outside the operating room, Dr. Sharpe prioritizes his family. He and his wife have three children and are currently expecting their fourth. With their kids beginning school in Sumter, the family enjoys an active lifestyle together swimming, walking, biking, going to the gym, playing sports and occasionally golfing.
