Dr. Shariff practices as a chiropractor in Charleston, SC. Treating and documenting injuries on patients involved in car accidents meant dealing with the tactics engaged by the insurers to contain costs. That is ultimately what led Dr. Shariff to become trained as an Injury Claim Auditor, Clinical Financial Auditor and Injury Claim Economist.
Dr. Shariff established Whiplash Pain Center in 2001 after moving to Charleston from upstate New York. Dr. Shariff earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in December 2000 from New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY. He has extensive experience in pain management including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, headaches, and numbness and tingling of the extremities. He has been practicing in West Ashley for most of his career and is also the only chiropractor in Charleston, South Carolina with an accident re-construction certificate from the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Dr. Shariff is a graduate of the Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology Program. Graduates of this program have received the most in-depth, science-based training available today. The program covers the entire spectrum from the physics of motor vehicle crashes to human biomechanics to diagnostics and management. (Note that in previous years, the program was referred to as the Masters’ Certification Program but was changed to the current name to more accurately reflect the current focus of the program, and to avoid confusion over the meaning of the word ‘Masters.
He also The Annual SRISD Scientific Conference: This advanced program is offered only to graduates of the Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology program. Attendees can elect to take a comprehensive examination for Advanced Certification which he took and passed.
Dr. Shariff has treated many patients who have been in car crashes and has helped thousands of people in the tri-county area. He also participated in CRASH: CRASH is an opportunity for any interested person to observe, first hand, human subject full-scale crash testing at the Spine Research Institute of San Diego testing facility. In addition, attendees will learn about crash testing, crash safety, and related engineering and clinical topics over a comprehensive three-day course. Attendees can elect to take a comprehensive examination for certification in Motor Vehicle Crash Forensic Risk Analysis (previously, Low-Speed Rear Impact Auto Crash Reconstruction). Car accidents require more knowledge to treat, manage, and document. Having the right information for a personal injury attorney or an insurance claims adjuster is important so they can understand what the patient experienced after the crash.
Dr. Shariff was named the 2013 District 3 director for the South Carolina Chiropractic Association (SCCA) and works to inform other chiropractors in the District of new regulations in the chiropractic profession and organize quality continuing education programs for SCCA members. He was also the president of the association from 2017-2018 and is still involved in events with the SCCA to help promote wellness in the community.
Dr. Shariff, a Charleston Chiropractor is now a member of the Professional Sports Care Team and an Official Chiropractic provider for the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.
Dr. Shariff uses chiropractic care to improve the health and wellness in all areas of patient’s lives, whether they are having problems with back pain or neck pain, or just want to start feeling better when they wake up in the morning. Dr. Shariff takes a “whole person” approach in chiropractic care, which means looking for the underlying causes of disease, discomfort, and pain, as opposed to just treating the symptoms. Many seemingly unrelated symptoms often arise from imbalances in the spinal column, and Dr. Shariff will be able to determine the root of the pain and create a personalized chiropractic and wellness plan to suit each patient’s individual needs. Under the supervision and care of our caring and skilled chiropractor, patients report higher functioning in all areas of their lives.
Outside of the office, Dr. Shariff loves playing golf, fishing, traveling, and spending time with his wife and ONO boys. He tries to squeeze in a round or two of golf whenever he can get away from the office; some of his favorite courses to play in the area are at Kiawah Island. He also enjoys fishing in his free time and loves to share many of his fishing and golf stories to patients while in the office. Dr. Shariffs favorite travel destinations always seem to be tropical destinations when spending time away from the beautiful Charleston area.

- I am proud to have studied to acquire a very high level of skill and confidence in the auditing of accident-related cases.
- My staff and I are very Knowledgeable, friendly, dedicated and eager to help with our audit services to reverse undervaluation’s of injury claims.
- Plaintiff’s attorneys know that when they engage our audit services, they can feel good that they have made the right decision.
- Our satisfaction rating has been consistently high, and attorneys soon realize that we care about their clients and that we are thoroughly knowledgeable in auto accident-related audits to reverse undervaluation’s. This is based not only on our successful actions but also because attorneys want to know that their auditor cares about getting a reversal of low settlement valuations especially when there is no legal and factual basis and when Unfair Claim Settlement Practice Acts have been engaged and the adjuster violates his own Ethics Codes of the Adjuster. The audit is the solution to unfair, undervaluation of injury claims.
- I am proud to have studied diligently to acquire a very high level of skill and confidence to become an auditor of accident-related injury claims and subscribe to the “Observer Rule of law and Empowerment.”
- We are eager to assist when injury claims have been undervalued and there is no legal or factual basis for so low a determination.
- We want our plaintiff’s representatives to feel that when they choose our audit services, you have made the right decision.
- We understand how frustrating it is for all plaintiff’s parties to be on the low end of a settlement valuation. No one should have to go through that — and we are truly grateful that you are allowing us the opportunity to bring a more favorable resolve to this issue of unfair, injury claim undervaluation. That is our sole purpose.
- The human mind is no match against the insurers software’s, therefore we have acquired the CASE Audit Settlement Evaluation software that makes up to 600 decisions and determinations to match the insurers software’s and exchange decision points, interface and input added valuation into an injury claim. The CASE software we use has “Computer Aided Decision Making’ functionality and is in a rare class of semantically interoperable software’s. It also is a “Decision Support System” and will include “Statements of Undisputed Facts’, “Memorandum of Points’ research and references to show its side has greater believability than the defense.
- We strive to keep our satisfaction rating high and show that we care. Thank you for being our valued customer. We are grateful for the pleasure of serving you and meeting your injury claim audit and enhancement needs.
- Fair and equitable settlement valuation is the injured’s rights, and we provide our audit services to reverse undervaluation when it occurs in injury claims. You trust our audit services and we take that seriously. When unfair, unreasonable undervaluation occurs, there is accompanying stress and anxiety over injuries, future prognosis, total costs, wage loss, property damage and the implications that arise from insurance issues. In fact, there are 26 sections comprised of medical, legal, economic and administrative factors of an injury claim. The audit is like a search engine to assemble all the factors of the claim in the correct language, format and sequence to interface with the insurers software’s, exchange data among the insurers 67,880 decision points of an injury claim to reverse undervaluation and add to the worth of the claim.
- I have trained to become an auditor and ‘knowledgeable observer’ of facts, including missing value drivers especially when there is no legal or factual basis for low valuations. We will audit each case using MECE Standards; Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive, to apply the highest standards to establish the preponderance, win the greater weight of the evidence challenges and reverse undervaluation’s of injury claims. You can be confident that you are in caring hands and thank you for trusting us with your client’s audit.
GREETING TO ATTORNEYS:
I am a trained auditor and ‘Knowledgeable Observer’ of medical and economist considerations. I utilize proprietary AI software to formulate demands to enhance valuation across 26 monetary markers that are often missing, and I conduct independent audits to reverse the unfair undervaluation of an injury claim.
Demands formulated contain ‘decision points,’ ‘case maximizers,’ and ‘value drivers’ in 26 separate sections.
The audit will refute the engagement of any “Unfair Claim Settlement Practice Acts.” An audit will correct misstatements of the defense or when insurers present an inadequate explanation of the legal and factual basis for unfair undervaluation of an injury claim.
I invite you to call to discuss case specifics. I will conduct a free analysis to determine if any claim is a candidate for audit to reverse an unfair undervaluation.
- I offer free subscriptions to our weekly eBulletin series, Audit Review, and Audit Magazine. CLE credits are available via screen share or “meet & greet” presentation.
