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.

Minimized my Pain
I saw Dr. Sharma for knee pain. He was initially very nice and thorough. After my MRI scan, I had a follow up appointment where he proceeded to minimize my pain by saying 'its not like your in that much pain.' He told me I needed to lose weight which I know I do, but to tell someone they are not in that much pain is inexcusable.

I had rotator cuff and labrum repair surgery with Dr. Sharma. I really liked his honest full assessment of my injury, his opinion an option I needed to take with having a full replacement or the elected repairs. He provided detail information, recommendation, and the surgery went well.

shoulder arthroscopic surgery
Dr Sharma and his staff were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He took time with me to discuss my options and answering all my questions with patience. During my treatment I visited several locations; Stoney point, Col Hgts and Riversbend with positive experiences. The staff at VCU, Health Short Pump Pavilion was excellent from the security guard, registration, surgery consult, nursing, anesthesia and surgical staff.

Outstanding surgeon
Very prompt with his appointments and his staff is very friendly and takes a lot of time with you. Answers questions and very good about explaining his procedures and surgeries. He did two Total Reverse Shoulder Replacements on me, my right shoulder first and eleven months later, my left. Excellent results on both. No pain-unbelievable!

Excellent Surgeon
When considering major knee surgery, it hard to find the right doctor because it?s often a one time experience. I hope my experience helps you. Dr Sharma did full replacement of both of my knees. I couldn?t be more pleased. His surgical skills are excellent. There was pain and swelling, but new knees were installed perfectly. I believe his technique about kept both to a minimum. He explained everything about my condition pre and post operation. He took the time that was needed at each appointment to be thorough. He is the very best Dr you can get and has an easygoing, thoughtful and personable manner. You won?t regret working with Dr Sharma!

Dr. Sharma is my hero!
My rotator cuff was badly damaged. I elected to have Dr. Sharma perform a reverse shoulder replacement. He and his staff answered all of my questions and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding. I did everything they told me to do, and in two months, I had regained the use of my arm. I am pain-free and can enjoy playing basketball, pickleball, and swimming. I can lift my arm above my head and extend my arm in front of me and out to the side. I have strength in my arm, but I don’t lift more than 25 lbs with it and I don’t put it behind my back. I am able to reach my back pants pocket. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Sharma and all the medical personnel who gave me my life back.

Beter Walking
Dr. Sharma did a total-knee replacement on my left knee. I felt was so pleased with the recovery. My knee heeled quickly, with the appropriate size component. My knee is the same size as it was before surgery and my incision is hardly noticeable.

He operated on both of my knees and did a bilateral knee replacement. He is an amazing doctor. He took care of me above and beyond my expectations! He came to the hospital after his sons soccer game with his family in the car on the way back from DC to check on me in Richmond at Chippenham and his family waited in the car. He truly cares about his patients. He also called me the night before my surgery just to see if I was ready and if I had any questions. I truly am so grateful to Dr. Sharma!

Dr. Sharma performed a total knee replacement on me on December 2, 2020. Everything went well and I continue to improve. Dr. Sharma is very pleasant and answered my questions to my satisfaction. I would recommend Dr. Sharma to anyone in need of orthopedic care in which he specializes. Another thing to mention is that he specializes in the conformis knee prosthetic that I opted for because it is fit to your knee.
