I was born into a military family (as you can tell from my hair and beard) :) and as such, moved often with my family. In the 80's my family settled in Huntsville, Alabama where my father retired from the Air Force and went to work for Boeing. I attended the University of Alabama where I was fortunate to witness the 1992 Alabama Championship season.
I am a mid-western girl transplanted to the South. I was raised primarily in Kansas and Missouri, and lived in Northwest Arkansas for 8 years prior to moving to the beautiful Gulf Coast in 2010. I have 5 amazing children ranging in ages from 15 to 29, and 4 fun-loving Grandsons who call me Kiki. My children are my greatest contribution and the biggest joys in my life.
I grew up in St. Lawrence in Newfoundland, Canada. I left St. Lawrence at age 19 to attend Chiropractic school in Davenport, Iowa. I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, Iowa. I am a mother, a wife, business owner, chiropractor, Young Living diamond leader and wellness lifestyle educator.

Started care 4 years ago with little movement in my neck and constant back pain. They’ve gotten my movement back in my neck and my back pain has been relieved greatly. Always friendly staff. Highly recommend Gulf Coast Family Chiropractic.

I’m in Gulf Shores, Alabama and got in trouble with my back. A friend told me to try Dr. Chad Sharkey. So happy I did! I was out of pain with one adjustment. Dr. Sharkey is truly blessed. Everyone in the clinic is kind and helpful.

Dr. Chad Sharkey is an excellent chiropractor, who brought me from a sciatica pain level of 9-10 to a totally pain-free life! Plus, the pre- and post-adjustment exercises have made me stronger and healthier than ever—all of this happened to a 70-year-old!! I highly recommend this clinic to change your life to be better than ever.

I had gone to a couple of Chiropractors before but never really felt at home. When I got referred to GCC I meet Chad. The knowledge and explanations on the how and why made me feel extremely comfortable. I have definitely found a home here at Gulf Coast Chiropractic.

My family has been coming to this office for almost 6 years. It truly has changed the health of our family. I believe that chiropractic just makes sense. When our body is aligned it can speak to itself in the right way to fight illness! God made our bodies to heal themselves. Through learning how to live a healthier life through the practices of this office we have been living our healthiest lives. I appreciate the time and attention Dr. Sharkey and his team pay to each patient. They are carrying on the mission and vision of Dr. Alicia in such a powerful way. This office will save as many lives

Dr. Sharkey answers questions & pinpoints solutions to tightness, pain and overall health. This team is all about education so you understand what is going on with your body! As a mom I've witnessed improvements in my children's overall health and attitudes with chiropractic care.
We love our GCFC family! When we come into
the office we are visiting some of the best people.

Wife and I made an appointment 3 weeks in advance for November 26th. When we arrived they were having a staff meeting. Seemed pretty solemn but after a 10 minute wait they took us back for our initial visit. At this point they people who were taking our measurements/history were nice. That part of the appointment ends and after not providing any care/adjustment they tell us it will be two weeks before we can return. We asked why and they told us this was their normal business practice, to review the xrays and come up with a plan of care.
My wife and I were flabbergasted. She went to the car very
