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.

no follow up on test results from dr.
I had an issue with my wrist, the dr ordered an xray, when i received the results I called the dr office since I had heard nothing. I got a call from a nurse not the dr telling me its just arthritis. And i would just have to live with it. No follow up appt. but he happily charged me for an office visit and I didn't even see the Dr. She said i would have to make another appt if i wanted to talk to him.

Dr Sarkar and the office workers
my last visit was great. He did give me some results. I’m not happy with, but that’s my health. The doctor is excellent. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable and I enjoy going to that office and especially to see Dr Sarkar. He knows what he is doing and I would recommend him to anybody.

First time meeting him, he made me feel veey comfortable. He was through in my evaluation. Very pleasant individual. Gets right to business and listens. Genuinely wants to help you with great understanding. I didn't feel like he put me in box. I've been looking for a kind and compassionate doctor. One that understands real life, and doesn't play God with your comfort. I highly recommend him.

I’ve never met someone with such poor bedside manner. I’ve been a nurse for fifteen years. I was referred to Dr. Sarkar by a friend after I was suffering from issues with my stomach. He would never say hello, address me by name, or even asking me how I was feeling. I’d often need to prompt him And inquire about lab results he himself had ordered during past appointments. I felt like I was on an assembly line. He’d zip into the room. Look at the labs. Offer a treatment. On this last occasion I was having some problems with one of the medications he prescribed for an ulcer. It was a known side effect of the medication and when I brought it up and how it was making me feel he promptly swore at me, called me stupid, and told me I was wrong. He then proceeded to throw a tantrum and ignored any further concerns I raised about my treatment. Feedback from patients is critical in determining treatment. Beware a doctor that belittles you for speaking up.

Davison, MI – Jun 15, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sarkar?
Dr. Sarkar and the NP's who work there are fine but the office staff is either not well organized or under-staffed. Scheduling for services outside of the facility is very slow, even with a dire health concern. Staff seem accustomed to using the excuse that they are busy when you express concern at the amount of time it's taking. No concern is shown for a patient experiencing pain or worsening symptoms. Very lackadaisical and apathetic office/support staff. Could be a dangerous mix.

Our family has had Dr. Sarkar as our family physician for several years now. Great morale around the office with light heartedness and pleasant attitudes. He is very good with his diagnosis and genuinely cares about his patients. We are very fortunate to have such a jewel in our little town.

Disrespectful, rude, callus. I could go on and on. My family member was in his care, when my mom went to ask questions concerning his care, this ....I cant refer to him as a man nor doctor... Sarkar pointed to my Mom and told her to "SHUT UP!" and continued to antagonize my family. I have never seen nor heard of a so called doctor behaving this way, and he needs to be stopped! He doesn't care about people, and you need to have compassion doing this type of work, which he doesn't!
