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.

Good Family Doctor
With Dr. Sharma for more than two decades. He makes the good treatment at the right time. Once he saved my right thumb from infection via in-clinic operation. His staffs are helpful and friendly.

Great doctor. One of the best I've ever been to. Listens to what you have to say, and doesn't BS you about what you need to do to get better.

I came with a family member (their appointment) this week and I have never seen such ill treatment ever in a medical practice, in my life. The biggest mistake I made was taking my family member to Dr. Sharma out of convenience of a quick appointment while I'm in State. He has seen my family member 2 or 3 times before and the patient didn't have his complete health records (can understand a professional's frustration) however words like "What is this?!" (pointing at his abdomen) and "I know people like you- always lying about intake" (when referring to how many times the patient drinks a week and "If you aren't going to listen to me, then please find yourself another doctor!" His hands in the air from frustration and the patient feeling disrespected and intimidated. I can understand when a professional can be frustrated with non-compliance and lack of understanding. There is however something called human respect, doctor-patient trust and a certain decorum as a healthcare professional.

No nonsense. Dr. Straight to the point and very knowledgeable. Fast service compared to many Dr. offices. If expecting balloons and happy clowns during visit, probably not your place.

Arrogant, Rude, and verbally abusive Man. I would never take a family member, let alone myself to see him as a patient. He should retire.

Prospective Patient in Pasco, WA – Oct 30, 2018

The lady at the desk weighs you and takes you to the room but doesn't ask you any questions and takes no vitals. I've waited in an EMPTY office for up to 15 minutes for the Dr. to come into the room. When he came in he acted annoyed and was arrogant and condescending. I never deserve to feel like I did something wrong when I leave my doctors office. PS: The office is a MESS and STINKS like mildew.

When my mom kept avoiding routine mammograms (She kept saying that since she had one a couple of years ago she don't need another one until 5-6 years). Dr. Sharma called the hospital imaging department and had her seen right away after her routine checkup at his clinic. We are very grateful for his care as the mammogram found a tumor which turned out to be a very aggressive form of breast cancer in its early stages. Our mom is alive today thanks to Dr. Sharma.
