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.

My wife and I love Dr Sharma! He is very personable and accommodating. Scheduling was a breeze and I was called back shortly after I checked in. We both highly recommend Dr.Sharma and his staff. Thank you Dr Sharma for being so professional and informative.

Very Disrespectful of your time
They scheduled my stress test for 8AM. They confirmed the day before. No one showed up to offices until 8:34AM. No apologies, but they told me the receptionist hadn’t shown up. When I asked what was taking so long, they informed me they couldn’t start the test until Dr Sharma got in. He gets in at 9AM. Why would you ask me to come in at 7:50AM if the person needed for the test doesn’t get there until 9AM?! Currently I am waiting in a room for the follow up to my stress test. It was a 9AM appointment and it’s 9:45AM with no doctor yet. Who knows how long this will take. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR unless you have time to waste. They do not care about you.

Dr. Sharma, as well as his office staffs, communication skills are lacking. Most often, his staff will not answer the phone, when they do, will not return calls, and does not relay medical information in a timely manner. An echo was performed in January and results not given for 7 months, blood was drawn one month ago and still no word from the office of those results. We are transferring from this practice to another cardiology practice who has more time to dedicate to patient care, other than an office visit on occasion. He will be reported to TriStar at the highest level.

I absolutely adore Dr. Sharma! He saved my life in the middle of the night when I had a STEMI in front of my 9 year old in the emergency room waiting area. He has always been very kind, patient and very knowledgeable. Without any chart telling him who I am... he knows my name, my husbands and always asks about my son. The absolute only thing I can say that isn’t great... his office staff has changed several times and currently they are very poor with communication, do not admit their faults and really kind of rude.

Dr. Sharma is an excellent cardiologists. He listens to what you say and explains in detail. Never rushing, actually pulled a stool up in front of me and explained everything and drew pictures explaining blockages in my arteries. If you need a cardiologist, Dr Sharma is the one.

Mike called from Dr. Sharma office. I was amazed at his customer service. He apologized for what happened this morning about the 103.00. I just love Mike he's the best. Dr. Sharma had no idea what was going on out front. I will be staying with Dr. Sharma. I forgive the girl up front she was new. Please go see Dr. Sharma he is an excellent doctor.

He tried to convince me he cared about my well-being, but, after requesting a cheeper medication that I could afford, he wanted my credit card number before he would make the script change. This particular medication would keep my heart from rejecting the implant. So, this would be an emergency and emtala would apply. This guy doesn’t know how to communicate. Specifically,he doesn’t listen to patients. This is a poor excuse for a doctor.

I adore Dr Sharma. He is very attentive, patient, knowledgeable and understanding. He will explain things to where you can understand them. He takes his time during appointments and will answer your questions or find the answer. I would feel very confident referring him to anyone.
