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 saw Dr. Sharma for about a year or so after a really bad car accident. My back and back pain were brutal. He was amazing. I received injections, nerve blocks, the meds I needed but unfortunately I was such a mess I had to have the surgeries. He was at a different practice back then but was a God-send to me! He was very patient, kind, listened and respected how you felt about meds and procedures. Highly recommend!

I was a patient of Dr. Sharma in 2005 when he was in a different practice. He was the most compassionate empathetic doctor and seemed very committed to helping me get rid of my pain. I had already been to another pain doctor without success. He listened to me and tried a new drug that had just been approved by the FDA and it worked so well! I was so sad when he left that practice but so thrilled to find him in Joliet. He truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Sharma is extremely knowledgeable in pain management. He explains everything to the patient in great detail until you understand it well. After visiting with Dr. Sharma you know that he cares deeply for his patients and he will do the best he can to get you pain free.

Dr. Sharma is caring, considerate and knowledgeable. He answers all my questions, his explainations are easily understood and he is not in a rush to get to the next patient. I have had good pain relief with his procedures. The staff members are helpful and considerate as well.

I have been to a number of pain clinics in a few states. All have take about as much time with me as it takes to throw out old fish. Dr. Sharma took the time and effort to find the cause of the discomfort. The folks working in the back are great. I would highly recommend Dr. Sharma.

Very disappointed in every aspect of this office. I was rescheduled twice, offered several different names of who to talk to regarding billing, was told it would cost me over $6k, was told it would cost me less than $2,300, was told procedure would take 20 minutes, was told procedure would take over an hour. When I asked for a refill on medication I was told I would have to come in for a follow up (after holding for 15 min). A follow up from what??? I never was able to get treatment!! Avoid!
