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 Need a New Neurologist
If you’re looking for an actual neurologist and not a failed stand-up comedian cosplaying as a doctor, look elsewhere. My 'consultation' lasted a grand total of 10 minutes, during which he cursed, threw a random medication my way without any real discussion, and told me to diet and exercise for migraines (because, clearly, centuries of medical research missed that breakthrough). There was zero follow-up, zero effort to understand my symptoms, and an overall vibe that this man hates his job but is just going through the motions.It honestly felt like his parents wanted a doctor in the family, and now we all have to suffer for it. If you want actual care and not someone trying out bad material while you’re in pain, go to literally any other neurologist.

Appalling behavior
I don't know what doctor all these people leaving 5 star reviews went, but it certainly wasn't the one that I saw. Saw him 75 minutes after scheduled appointment time. He was rude, aggressive and didn't listen to anything I said. It's like he put me in a box before he ever entered the room. We didn't have a conversation, he just berated me and acted like my condition was my fault. He has absolutely zero concern for treating a patient as a whole person or frankly, like a person at all. Find another doctor.

Amazing service
De. Sharma was so. Wet gracious to me despite my error in initially driving to the wrong office. He still decided to see me and still took the time to answer key questions related to my health. He’s an amazing doctor that provides great service each time.

I absolutely love Dr. Sharma. His patient care is excellent. He is very thorough. And he goes the distance for his patients. I have never left a visit wondering or questioning anything he has said. I am so glad to have him as my neurologist.

One of the best
Dr Sharma was one of the most understanding doctors I have visited. He took a significant amount of time to review my health history (even copied some of my records from other paperwork). He provided initial analysis to be confirmed by further testing and was compassionate about my current situation. He also showed a certain level of frustration with some of the previous medical challenges I had been met with. It felt like I was meeting with a real person not an "egotistical" doctor who only had a few minutes of his time to share.

Tried to give this guy the benefit but can’t. Had a year long illness that’s sent me to Mayo twice with no answers. It was suggested it might be neuromuscular. Within five minute of walking in and before examining me he did a jaw jerk test and said “nope you don’t have ALS.” Very odd. I literally could have failed the test and he still would’ve said that five minutes in. I have consequently had a biopsy done and can’t get answers to what was tested and what they mean. Guy doesn’t answer messages and either do his nurses. Very poor for a new doctor. I wouldn’t go back to him for a hangnail.
