Sticklepath Quaker Burying ground has a wall plaque:

In loving memory of Kay Kathleen Forrest Sharp 1904 – 1992 And her husband Dr Chris Sharp, Our much loved G.P 1936-1949. Both of Bridge House.

Mrs Sharp I remember well, she came to my wedding in Sticklepath. However her husband had died well before I was born. They lived in a small cottage opposite Ladywell before moving to Bridge House. Bridge House had two door bells, including one for upstairs (night time use for medical emergencies).

Christopher James Lewen Sharp had a London Wedding. The Exeter & Plymouth Gazette of 27 August 1937 reports:

Dr Sharp was nephew to Cecil Sharp, musician and collector of folk songs and encourager of Morris dancers.

A good place to investigate doctors is The Lancet’s obituaries (some also in the British Medical Journal or BMJ). Dr Sharp’s obit., including a good story about when he was wounded in WW1 can be found here.
