Dr. Sharma is one of the most loving people I know. I recommended my mom to her and my mom won't go anywhere else. I've been going to her for over a year. I stay an hour away and don't want to go anywhere else

I went for an annual and felt a bit attacked when talking about my vitals. Didnt offer solutions but more so just kept telling me I was going to end up in a wheelchair.

I went in not knowing what to expect. I did do my research and I chose her. Well, I'm glad I did. I did not wait long at all. My appt was @ 8am and I didn't get seen by the nurse until about 8:07/8:10, BUT my appt was honored and that was awesome. When I finally met with Dr. Sharma I loved her energy, she was gentle, understanding and seemed genuinely concerned for my health. She's took extra time with me yo discuss it. I didn't feel rushed at all. It's been very hard for me the last few years with being able to find an OBGYN that I actually felt comfortable with. I kept changing all the time. I will definitely be making her my PCP for all my womanly needs :).

She is a wonderful doctor!
August 16, 2017Alicia M.Verified patient
She was kind, makes you feel comfortable with casual conversation during the exam and answers your questions thoroughly. Great MD, being going to her since last year. I live 35 mins away from the office but I don't mind the drive because I enjoyed going to this office. Not only is Rita great but the other workers are ask well.
July 26, 2017Breanna M.Verified patient
Dr. Sharma has a warm and approachable manner. Despite being her last patient of the day, and her being backed up bc of some technical issues earlier in the day, she took her time with me and focused on my issues, and answered my questions fully and thoroughly. I really appreciate her doing this and lol forward to working with her for my surgery.
July 18, 2017Heather S.Verified patient
I seriously got up in the middle of my appointment and left. I've never been in a situation that I needed to do that, but this time I did. I had to take a stand a be an advocate for my own health. She really shouldn't be working with other women.

Very proactive and knowledgeable. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. A very different experience than another doctor I've tried in the area.

Wait time was a bit long, however office staff was nice and environment was peaceful. Dr. Sharma is very personable, doesn't rush you in your visit and is committed to keeping you healthy and treating whatever problems may be of an issue.

She is very professional but at the same time makes you feel really comfortable. She engages in conversation with you while examining so there's no awkward moments. Very pleasant office, staff and doctor.

Dr Sharma was very kind and observation. She listened to my concerns and gave me options for my treatment. Her entire staff was very helpful, especially the nurses.
April 5, 2016Ablavi E.Verified patient
Dr. Sharma was very personable and professional. She wanted to make sure that I fully understood everything. She sits down with you and makes eye contact. I declined part of the exam, and she was respectful of that. She was very kind, a great listener, and seems like an excellent physician. I definitely would recommend her to others. Receptionist and other staff were also friendly and welcoming.

December 7, 2015Dyasia C.Verified patient
Dr. Rita Sharma, was very warm and welcoming. She took the time to talk to me about other matters other than my Annual Exam. During my exam she was unbelievably gentle, and made the annual exam as enjoyable as one could be.

New patient: I set my appt online in addition to calling & leaving a message the following 2 days...never heard from anyone! The last question is not applicable because I'm still waiting to be seen...

Dr. Sharma is very knowledgeable and efficient. Even though Dr. Sharma is specified to Gynecology, she is concerned with the complete health of her patients. While I was there for my annual check-up, she ordered lab work for a complete blood test (diabetes, cholesterol, STDs, etc.). It was so great to be able to get this done at the same office, without having to spend the time in another appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Sharma and her staff.
July 16, 2015Kaitlin A.Verified patient
She was a jerk about small details and judges you for everything "wrong" that you've done. And then she speaks to you in that judgmental and assumptive tone for the rest of the meeting. I'm not coming back to her and I advise others to look elsewhere.

Dr. Sharma is a great doctor. The check-in process is quick and simple. The staff is nice and welcoming. Patty (spelling?) has been very helpful in making an appt for me, as I have a busy schedule (I work in the medical field as well, and it is hard to take a day off). Dr. Sharma explains what she is doing and is very compassionate. I would highly recommend her practice.
More than 1 year agoChloe J.Verified patient
Dr. Sharma is knowledgeable, professional and leaves the patient with the feeling that she will do everything possible to make the correct diagnosis and provide the best care and run the appropriate test. I was very impressed with her and now have hope that my health challenges will be resolved . I highly recommend her 100%
November 16, 2013Ayana Mishelle H.Verified patient
Went for a annual...... very organized office with nice staff. The exam was fast, however, no labs where drawn and I thought that was part of the exam. Overall its a nice get in a get out 0ffice
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
I was very satisfied until during my consultation she started berating me about my life choices and my parenting ability. Ad far as I'm concerned she's not a licensed therapist, or family consultant so her advice needs to be kept to my medical and reproductive health. I will not recommend or be returning, she made me uncomfortable before my actual exam was even performed. I look for a doctor whom skews me feel comfortable not one who offers their opinion on my lifestyle as if she knew anything about me personally. Will not go back
January 23, 2014Emily N.Verified patient
Dr. Sharma was great. I was not impressed by her staff. They were not friendly at all. It was my first visit and they did not leave a good impression. The facility itself is a little outdated and had a messy feel to it. You can see clutter behind the desk etc. Even though Dr. Sharma was great, I don't think I will return to this office. I prefer a more professional environment with an overall friendly office. After all, those types of appointments can be uncomfortable as it is.

Great doctor. Very nice and knowledgable.
More than 1 year agoChloe J.Verified patient
She was nice forgot to give me a breast exam. I will most likely look for another Doc. The best part of it all is the big lady in the front who answers phones and is really nice.
