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.

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD Receptionist Heidi and Tasmeen are NOT transparent and do NOT value their patient’s time. Today was my first appointment as a new patient. I called at 10:45am and asked if I could come earlier as my appointment time was at 11:15. However, the receptionist said the doctor was very busy and had back to back appointments. I went inside the office at 11am as I was waiting in the car for 15 mins. Started filling the new patient paperwork right as I walked in at 11am. At 11:15am I hear the office staff talk about that the Dr Sharma left and does NOT know what time she will be coming back as Dr Sharma did NOT inform her own staff. At 11:25am I asked “ How long will the wait be?” the response I got from that was “we are putting in your information in the computer system”. After Heidi was done putting in my info, she informs me that the doctor has left and if they can reschedule my appointment. I was very disappointed as they wasted my 45 mins. I only asked why it took them this long to inform me that their doctor had left, Heidi and Tasneem had nothing to say. It’s sad how they treat their clients. I told them I work in the medical field and know how to treat my patients. I told them I will never come back to this doctor again only because they were NOT transparent. I wouldn’t want to waste my time, energy and my hard earned money even if my insurance is paying for it. Why should I give it to a doctor who doesn’t value you. The doctor could have had an emergency, however if that was the case, the doctor should have informed her team, as transparency is important to build clients and relationships with those clients. I was referred by my PCP, I will let her know my experience and will inform NOT to refer anyone. Hope this review will make Dr Sharma and her staff be transparent with their patients.

Doctor was thorough, but aloof. She explained what was going on and what all my options were. The followup was poor - I repeatedly had to check on the status of referrals etc.

I am very glad that My wife chose you as her OB/GYN. She felt herself lucky to have a doctor like you.She doesn't have word to express her feelings. Thank you so much for all care & support you gave to her. Your motivated words in advice & positive vibes helped her a lot. It results into ZERO pregnancy problems. Thank you for being her doctor and above all thank you for being amazing "HUMAN".Amazing Staff

the worse experience of life. I was denied to even make an appt because I didn't have insurance info. I first scheduled appt online on the website on April 8th or 9th. I didn't hear anything back from them until 12th April only to tell I can't have an appt on may because my insurance coverage was gonn start on April 27th. I have been working in the medical field for 9 years. I have never seen this happening. I was pregnant for 13 weeks when she called me back. I think it was the doctor herself.
