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.

Wonderful Staff!
Sharma really listens to our needs and goals. She takes as long as we need in office and we don't feel rushed. Definitely recommend!

Sharma Care has been a wonderful experience.
Clean Office, wonderful receptionist and very personal and professional medical practitioner. We are new to the area and are grateful to find Sharma Care in Lake City. We needed a primary care physician but are not a fan of how our regular medical/insurance system operates. Sharma Care has been a welcomed change. Her prices are extremely reasonable And her billing system is consistent and reliable.

Absolutely the best!!
I cannot say enough great things about Sharma. She has been my health provider for years. I was so happy that she opened up “SharmaCare”! I feel that it is such a great resource/option for the public, especially for those who need a good provider who doesn’t require health insurance. Sharma is professional, kind, she takes the time to listen and get to know what your healthcare needs are. She also looks for more affordable options for her patients. I would recommend her 100%. Taylor, her office assistant is also so sweet and professional and such a great addition to the practice!!

She's the best
She thoroughly listens to each and every concern. I've never once felt rushed in her office. It feels like she actually cares about her patients, rather than see them as a number.

Went in for stomach problems and a spot on my head. She checked me over and said a stomach virus was going around and sent in a referral to dermatology to check it out. she always takes the time to listen and checks you out thoroughly. I would recommend her to any one that needs a good Nurse Practitioner.

She always reviews my chart before my visit so that my visit is less stressful because there is no repeating any issues or concerns I have already stated to the CNA. She listens to any issues I have and addresses all concerns.
