[...] and Dr Sharma make a great team and worked with the mindful intern [...] very well.
PA student did much of the appointment. Dr's comments seemed often to be directed to the students. Dr Sharma did a thorough exam.
Dr sharma is wonderful.
Great experience overall! Doc spent the entire hour with me listening to me whole experience, symptoms etc. and provided great options for my future care.
Dr. Sharma listened exceptionally well and clearly explained the measures she recommended. In my view, they are sensible.
Finding Dr Sharma is answered prayer. Within 30 minutes of meeting Dr Sharma, I knew she could help me. Dr Sharma listens to me, and acts like she wants to find out what's happening with me as much as I do. She helped set up a team of people to help. Dr Sharma even set up a treatment plan based on my symptoms on the first visit, revising as needed as test results and other provider's notes came to her. Dr Sharma's diligence comes across as if she may be treating her own family member. It is rare to find a provider like Dr Sharma, especially in the specialty fields.There aren't words to express how grateful I am to have found such a remarkable doctor.
Friendly, concerned, knowledgeable
Dr. SHARMA CARES
This visit I felt the doctor had little interest or regard for me. That's the attitude I felt - She could learn to smile. It was cold. 3-4. Not discussed.
Dr Sharma two thumbs up
In more than a year, Dr Sharma is the first specialist who hasn't dismissed me and my symptoms due to the cause of my issues not being easy to find. She is compassionate, validating, attentive, curious, and determined. I wish I'd found her when I first got sick. I think I'd be so much further along in my recovery.
Dr Sharma is fantastic
I really appreciate Dr Sharma and her team. She always discusses things with me along with possible solutions,
Dr. Sharma was awesome! She was thorough and kind. Offered a detailed explanation of condition and many options. She considered every option from medication to physical therapy to supplements for a truly holistic approach. Highly recommend!
Dr Sharma is an excellent resource to have. She is so kind, and listens to me. She is always coming up with new ideas and ways to improve my situation.
Dr. Sharma was understanding and provided very clear explanation of her plan
Dr. Sharma is a wonderful doctor. She listens compassionately, she asks questions that are effective on exploring the issues I am having, and she takes my desires and concerns into consideration when discussing treatment/medications.
It has taken more than a year to find a specialist familiar with the impact of [...] on the peripheral nervous system. After an experience with another neurologist, I dreaded seeing Dr Sharma, fearing that she would also be dismissive, but the only other option was to out-of-state for help. Dr Sharma not only saved me the trip, she coordinated care within her team to address other aspects of my condition, as well as pull in my PCP to assist. She was knowledgeable about [...] and how it can affect the nervous system, as well as explaining a symptom that baffled another neurologist and neurosurgeon. I am now writing my rheumatologist and PCP to tell them my experience in case it helps give others the hope Dr Sharma gave me.
She was very thorough and listened carefully to me. Very kind demeanor.
The care provider was so concerned about what was going on with me she is referring to other Specialists also she did an amazing job
My doctor did a great job of making sure we were on the same page and answering all my questions. I really appreciate the super short time frame between the appointment and getting started with medication. I do feel that only having one virtual hour damaged by doctor's ability to understand me as a person, though she was definitely able to understand my illness.
Dr Sharma is phenomenal.
Dr. Sharma is always attentive, caring, informative, kind.
