Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I wouldn’t go see dr sharma again. She’s behaves, in my opinion, an egotistical tyrant who doesn’t believe that patients have a voice in their healthcare. If I want to opt out of a breast exam because I’d just had one, she should respect that but she refused all services. I’m sure it was a money thing. That was one less thing she could bill insurance for. She talks far too fast and dislikes questions. Simply stated, she missed the whole bedside manner lesson in medical school. I’ll never return.

wait time is about 45 minutes. Dr. uses outdated date Dictaphone to record medical record. It takes 3 weeks for Dr to send medical notes to a provider. Dr. does not hire qualified nurses. He system is outdated. I would not recommend anyone to see him.

Dr. Sharma has been very good in treating my sleep apnea. I would recommend him to anyone who is suffering with apnea.

Very nice and straight to the point. He is very honest but I would rather be told than beat around the bush. You will not always like what a doctor have to say. They see patients everyday who just want medicine

My parents just went to an appointment with this doctor. They had a long wait in the waiting room and when they were seen he was extremely rude and condescending to them both. My Mom has had a recent onset of dyspnea and needs help. Instead of receiving the help she needed she was treated horribly and now has to go to yet another doctor to try and receive care. Stay away from this doctor if you are in need of help. You will be wasting your time.

Dr. Sharma is an attentive and compassionate doctor. He is also extremely professional, and gave me confidence in his care for me. He took his time, making sure I understood what was going on with me, and listened to my concerns, and he found a treatment that cured me of a scary condition. He is everything one wants in a doctor. His nurse was always friendly and prompt about reaching me by telephone when needed.

Very rude practice. My mother is having health issues and every time that she speaks to his nurse she is very rude! She has issues with falling asleep and the medicine they have her on she needs changed and they said they will not change it and will just take her off the medicine all together. Her hypersomnia is very bad and they don't care to help her at all try to fix her problem. I would not recommend anyone to this place. If I were to ever inherit this issue I will never go here!

Dismissive rude abrupt and an mean man overall. His wife is just as bad. She is also a doctor with a bad attitude. Neither one of them is worth your time or money. They both seem to think the patient works for them rather the other way around. Do yourself a favor and send them packing. Elitist jerks! Offices are dirty as well.

This doctor was very rude, abrupt & self absorbed. He didn't care about me. I was trying to explain difficulties I was having with CPAP, including migraines, little to no sleep, nightmares, rashes & ask for help but he interrupted & cut me off. On the paper work I had to bring back to my primary doctor he wrote "patient reports no issues adjusting to CPAP". I told him that was not correct, but he would not change it. I have canceled my follow up appointment with Dr. Sharma & will not be bac

Acted too busy and rushed through my exam. Impossible to get to his office staff without going through 3 people to get an answer. No one knows who they transfer my call to, to get an answer when I'm getting my c-pap machine. No call back after leaving voice mail.

Doctor acted like he was too busy to talk to me. Nurses could care less if they helped you or not. I will no longer be spending my hard earned money with this doctor.
