I love the practice. Very friendly staff and doctors. Just be aware booking through zocdoc does not get you an appointment like it normally will with other doctors using Zocdoc. The practice will notify you to schedule an appointment for later on. Dr Sharma was not available for another 3 weeks so I opted to see another doctor sooner.

I was seen by a Physician Assistant, Nils, in Dr. Sharma’s office. He was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Easy to discuss medical concerns with him. I highly recommend and will be returning to their clinic.

I had tried 3 different PCPs before going to doctor Sharmas office. I wanted to try out who I would choose as a PCP and no one could compare to to the treatment from Dr Sharma. The wait time was great, the care was perfect and I felt so comfortable in their gorgeous office. I have officially made Dr. Sharmas office my PCP!

I love her but it seems every time I go which is about twice a year I always have to wait at least 15mns. The waiting time I'm referring to is the wait inside the room not the front desk. Maybe it's the office that overbooks patients.
