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.

Pays attention to detail. Knows his stuff!!!
Dr. Sharma cares about his patients. He ensures understanding of what the health care consists of and any follow-up which may be necessary. He encourages questions and is able to articulate what the treatments entail.

Excellent orthopedic surgeon
Following an unfortunate and painful ankle fracture, Dr. Sharma was the one who had to deal with me. I am now 6 months out. I am extremely pleased with the results. I am pain free and have no restrictions.

Outstanding Orthopedic Doctor / Surgeon
I saw Dr. Sharma because of arthritis of Carpometacarpal joint of the left thumb and trigger finger of the left ring finger. He took the time to explain my options and discuss my concerns. I had surgery to remove the trapezium bone along with the trigger finger release. He made me feel like he actually cared on how I was, and let me know if I ever have any concerns please email him. I feel great and would highly recommend him to others.

Carpal Tunnel surgery on both hands
5 years ago he did my right wrist which turned out amazing. He did my left wrist a month and a half ago, so far with the same results. Minimal pain, quick recovery and barely a scar. He did an amazing job! I’m very pleased with the results.

Surgery and follow up care
Dr. Sharma performed surgery after I broke both bones in my lower leg and has followed up with me for a year and a half. I appreciated his skillful surgery. I also appreciated how thoroughly he answered my questions and how he not only showed my x-rays but explained what I was seeing. He also was encouraging and caring about my overall health during covid pandemic.

Dr. Sharma skillfully performed both the surgery on my tibial plateau fracture, as well as the hardware removal three years later. For both surgeries, I felt completely taken care of by Dr. Sharma and his team; he was very clear with me about the procedures and outcomes and what I needed to do for a complete recovery, which I greatly appreciated. I cannot accurately capture how grateful I am for everything Dr. Sharma and his team did for me--they cared about me as a person and wanted what I wanted, to get back to a fully operational life! I, strongly and without hesitation, recommend Dr. Sharma to everyone!

Dr. Sharma was an amazing surgeon. He is honest, kind, considerate and a professional. I would recommend him for any orthopedic need and surgery. My experience with Essentia Health and him was the best. I had shoulder repair and am so pleased with the progress and results. My primary care Md recommended him and said he was "brilliant". He is and very humble. Thank you.

In October I fell and fractured my right wrist. I was hoping to avoid surgery but after a closed reduction failed to maintain adequate position, Dr.Sharma recommended that to achieve the best long term results that he pin the fracture. At 10 weeks post op I am very pleased with the progress and results. Dr. Sharma is very easy to talk to and did a great job explaining my injury and treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Sharma, his team and the Essentia Health system.
