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.

Won't refill medication
There have been multiple different occasions where she has called me 'lazy' or 'young and self diagnosive' I told her about my cerebral palsy and she said 'you can walk there is nothing wrong with you, you are fine' I left and cried because she refused to listen too me. There have been multiple incidents where she has canceled appointments for no reason and wouldn't refill my antipsychotics or adhd meds THAT I NEED.

Dr. Sharma is great.
Telehealth
Dr. Sharma is very professional, her visits are done in a timely manner, she seems to genuinely care for her patients. I don't understand that she only has 3 stars, perhaps it's from patients with unrealistic expectations.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Sharma! She is not one to jus hand out medication so if your looking for that your in the wrong place. She DOES care about her patient's. About the comment above i also saw her for depression PTSD and anxiety. She has helped me with a bunch of things. Im sure she didnt say that in a terrible way saying u was lazy i dont believe she actually said that but she will tell you that you dont need ssi because she can help you feel much better so you can goto work! When i first came in i thought i was gunna be able to get what i wanted and leave ha i thought wrong. But im so happy that she took time to give me the correct medications for ME. I no longer HAVE to take. Benzos or be sick from not having them! I am also a recovering addict she has helped me threw all of that as well! I love her she genuinely cares!?

I saw this doctor for my depression which I had been recently diagnosed with. I told her that I was thinking of applying for disability. She told me I didn't need it, I was just young and lazy. I cried and told her I didn't have the energy or motivation to do better. She told me to leave her office because she had another appointment. DO NOT see this doctor if you have depression. She made me feel suicidal and I filed a complaint against her. She's terrible and unprofessional.
