Dr. Sharma is splitting his time between Southdale Hospital (Edina, MN) and St. John’s (Maplewood, MN) where he will have a general neurosurgery and brain tumor practice. At the U of M, he will dedicate his clinical efforts to awake craniotomies for brain tumors, intraoperative MRI-guided resections, laser interstitial thermal therapy for brain tumors, Gamma knife radiosurgery, complex skull base tumors/pathologies, and spine tumors (intradural and extradural). “I’m looking forward to offering the best possible care to the Minneapolis community and to Minnesota as a whole,” he said.
The U of M is attractive to Dr. Sharma for several reasons. “I always wanted to come back to an academic setting, where there are so many opportunities to focus on innovation,” he said. “The U’s Medical Device Innovation Program and close collaboration among specialties makes it unique. I also had the opportunity to work with Department Head Dr. Clark Chen on a few projects when I was at the Cleveland Clinic. His unparalleled leadership and unbridled enthusiasm inspired me to want to work with him.”
