Thanks Dr. Sharma and staff! The staff and front desk assistants are very pleasant and polite! Dr. Sharma is caring and listened to all my concerns about the pains I was having on my thumb! He took XRay and then injected my thumb and gave me instructions of what to do to help myself…even suggested some naturals items that we find at home that can help with the arthritis affecting my fingers… He cares about the entire/overall health of the patient, not just what we go see him about! I totally recommend Dr. Sharma to everyone! Now my husband is also his patient. Thank you, Dr. Sharma!

I sent a message to the plastic surgeon Dr.Sharma: ‘Dear Dr.Sharma. Now it is 3 months after the surgery. My ear is thick like a dumpling and purple, and I have some pain at the base of the ear. I used Aquaphor healing ointment however my ear probably got infected. Now I apply the clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream which was used for swelling and redness of the skin. What should I do to get my ear to the normal condition?’ The response came from Leah Hirsch-Cotter, NP not Dr.Sharma himself: ‘It can take up to a year to settle. We recommend massage to the area a few times daily.’ Does she mean ‘massage a swollen inflamed ear’? My impression- Dr.Sharma does not feel responsible for his patients, he does not care of them after the surgery especially with such long time of recovery.

He promised me a fluer de li and a mini tummy tuck. I feel like since my insurance paid for some of it (extreme skin breakdown from Weightloss) he told me what I wanted to hear instead of being honest and truthful. He then yelled at me for 42 min (recorded that convo) and told me that I made this up and I hear what I want. I choose him after getting other options (who btw looked at me sideways when I mentioned the fluer). His incision line looks like an ocean wave, I had a bad infection with a revisional surgery and when that didn’t take he scheduled me for a 3rd one which I refused to pay for and Did not have. Get your plastic surgery elsewhere!!!!!!

He promised me a specific surgery and only delivered half of it. I then had to return due to an infection and have a second surgery to fix the open wound and infection. The wound reopened a second time and they scheduled a surgery without my permission. The original incision is wonky- it literally looks like an ocean wave. My now closed reopened incision area is extremely sensitive I can not wear underwear, clothes or sleep on that side because it easily rubs raw and super sensitive. He botched me, took my money and then told me I was a liar. GO TO SOMEONE ELSE. I’ve looked into reporting him to the medical board because I fear he will hurt other patients. This isn’t about revenge it’s about keeping people safe and he’s not an honest doctor. Do yourself a favor and run! Ps- I gave him 2 stars bc his nurse practitioner, Leah is a gem and the only saving grace to his practice.

He was responsive and informative. Helped me understand what was going on and how to deal with it. He was nice. Tested me respectfully.
