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.

Rude
This was not my regular physician, as I was canceled due to no fault of my own. Dr. Sharma was visibly annoyed at seeing me. She introduced herself, then said, "Even though I've never met you". I explained how I was canceled the day before and she responded. "I've already addressed administration. We're supposed to see our own patients." Her nurse was very friendly and warm - trying to make light conversation to ease the tension, but the doctor wasn't interested. She did perform the procedure I needed, but wouldnt acknowledge my thank you or even look at me as I left. Very unprofessional in her bed side manners. Her behavior made me very uncomfortable.

Her office staff tells her before seeing patients what and if she can prescribe a patient medications. I saw her for coughing, sinuses, ear pain, chest pain & lethargic. Was moved from one room to another by her nurse so doctor would have access to equipment to look in my throat, ears & nose. Doctor was in room 2 minutes max & had me take a few deep breaths & listened to my lungs & said “you’ve got seasonal allergies, you don’t need an antibiotic!” I had to drive to Gainesville after work to see my primary care provider who gave me a thorough check up & I was diagnosed with strept throat, severe sinus infection & double ear infections. An employee of the health department came to me & told me “I know why Dr Sharma didn’t prescribe you antibiotics. An office employee told her you made an appointment to see her & nothing was wrong with you except post traumatic stress disorder from having covid 19!” I didn’t believe it until I got my medical records & she noted “shows anxiety”.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sharma?
This doctor is far most the worst I have ever encountered. I complained about the pain in my left side for over two years not once did she ever ordered a exray or anything to find out what the problem was coming from, she doesnt touch her patients and stand from afar, she never not once ever checked my pulse or listen to my heart with a stethoscope or looked in my mouth ,she never explained anything to me concerning side effects on medication etc she's useless, this person should be investigated concerning her job skills and profession with the patients
