About Me
I specialize in cognitive disorders and dementias, including Alzheimer's disease.
The care I provide takes into account that every patient is unique. They come with different talents, varied experiences and diverse environmental and family circumstances.
After a thorough evaluation, I can determine the diagnosis and create a personalized care plan for the patient’s specific medical needs.
Every patient and family deserves to be informed and educated on their medical issues and potential research opportunities. Patients at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center benefit from new discoveries and scientific advances as we strive to provide you with the best possible care.

No bad experience
Superior
Amazing kind doctor
Dr Schatre made us feel like the only patient he had. Fully attentive, kind, and thorough!
There was no bad experience all good
Good, he was the best!
Doctor was one hour late and while he gave us plenty of time during our appointment, this encounter felt more perfunctory than our initial visit. Maybe he was unprepared, running late, or something else, but it was a lackluster experience for us. It did not seem to us that the "team" had really collaborated on the diagnosis in the way we had imagined.
Excellent
Spent time with me, answered questions and had a good sense of humor.
Dr Scharre is "Gold" we are among the fortunate to have him as our provider - he to totally understands FTD
Good listener - very caring
Thorough and spends time with you
An outstanding first visit with this specialist.
He listens and talks with me like a friend.
Dr. Scharre was the most detailed physician we've ever met.
Displayed genuine interest, concern in addressing all needs and concerns.
He gave me the info I needed, I guess. Unfortunately no new meds, treatments, or even clinical trials for my husband's Alzheimers
Dr Scharre is top notch. His work is his passion and it shows. He takes his time to explain everything we needed to know and shows such compassion. We know we are in the best hands possible.
Dr. Scharre was really excellent. He carefully went through my medical history in My Chart with us. He asked me and my wife several questions about my symptoms. The exam was very thorough. He also very effectively involved the resident physician that was with him in my care, and as he taught her, he taught me and my wife at the same time as well. He was definitive with his diagnosis, engaged me and my wife in choosing the best options for treatment, doing all this with a pleasant, confident, and empathetic bedside manner. His fund of knowledge was quite impressive, and he thoroughly answered all our questions.
Dr. Scharre, At all times, was caring, listening, understanding and knowledgeable. I am so fortunate to have him as my neurologist!

A+.
Dr. Scharre should be the role model for every med student. He listens, cares, and works with the patient.
For all these years, our gratitude for the care, expertise, and support that Dr. Scharre provides is without measure. Given the nature of his specialty, we know that so much can hinge on the very specific insight into the individual patient that informs the doctor's care, and so we feel that we could not be in better hands than with Dr. Scharre, who is always totally attuned. How lucky we are, and how we credit this care in making such a difference in coping with and even abating, the progression of the disease. Making the quality of life the best it can be under the circumstances. And providing superb support for loved ones/care givers, with strategies and guidance, and realistic expectations that are strengthening and comforting. And he has a wonderful sense of humor and cheerfulness (in total appropriateness) that helps with grounding and keeping perspective. Simply wonderful, always.
Listened and was kind.
Doctor was thorough, professional, and friendly. A smile goes a long way!
Dr. Scharre shared with us honestly what we were facing, what may follow and what we needed to do.
