I can only say that if you want a Dr to go the extra mile which even includes getting me an appointment with another doctor then Dr Sharma is your person. Knowledgeable , Bright Dynamic Personality and has never made me feel Rushed . Pain Management isn’t a black or white science so when something isn’t working she’s prompt to think about what’s the next best option.

Verified patient
excellent dr, amazing staff
I saw three back specialists before finding Dr. Kavita Sharma and couldn't be happier. She is an extraordinarily clear communicator, and after having experienced two herniated disc extrusions these past few months but finding no plan forward, Dr. Sharma came as a relief. I am incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Sharma: besides being super kind and knowledgeable, she provided me with the best care I could have asked for.
Verified patient
I rarely write reviews but I can honestly say that Dr Sharma was outstanding. She was personable, thoughtful, knowledgeable, awesome personality and clearly understood that I was in pain. She’s not the first Dr I have seen who hasn’t done this but that usually doesn’t happen within the first 10 minutes. She gave me at least 30 plus minutes and totally understood when I said I hate needles. I highly recommend Dr Sharma to anyone who wants the same experience. Scott
Verified patient
Overall, I had a very "meh" experience with this office and doctor and I won't be returning. The receptionist/assistant at the front was completely disheveled, no idea why. She was very nice, but just totally all over the place. You are told to go to the 4th floor, but actually you need to be on the 3rd floor and when I arrived, no one greeted me or checked me in (which resulted in me going back to the 4th floor to only be brought back to the 3rd floor). Ugh!! The doctor knew her stuff, but her direct approach/disposition made me even more afraid than I already was. I did get x-rays over a week ago and haven't heard from the office. I'm actually concerned the woman who imaged my back/side did so on the incorrect side of my body (I asked her twice if what she was doing was correct - but she never directly answered my question). Overall, Mount Sinai doctors are totally spread thin and see 30-40 patients a day. You are just a number on the calendar & I certainly felt like one.
Great doctor, great listener. I recommend
Verified patient
Not a good listener and no patience.
Thorough and useful talk/information.
Verified patient
We talked for a few minutes, and she looked at my back. She ended up billing for level 4 visit and a radiological exam that was never performed. Would not recommend.
great bedside manner, listened very well, the medical assistant who took my vitals was friendly and helpful and very kind / patient. doctor was clear, concise, helpful with her informative walkthrough, and gave me great advice on options and next steps.
I highly recommend Dr. Sharma! She is up to the point. Her staff is very professional, caring, attentive, and sweet. Highly satisfied with my visit there.
Verified patient
It was what I expected. She listened to my concerns and gave me immediate feedback on what is the best way to manage my pain. I will wait to see if the treatment she mentioned reduces my misery.
Verified patient
Dr. Sharma and the entire staff were great. I liked the fact that I didn't feel rushed. Dr. Sharma assessed my symptoms and came up with an treatment plan. I would recommend anyone to her practice.
Verified patient
Great doctor. Knows what she is doing
Verified patient
Make sure your insurance is accepted, my insurance was not accepted and was an out of network doctor. Definitely would recommend going to Dr Kavita, she took her time to explain and test for where my pain was stemming from.
Verified patient
Dr. Sharma was knowledgeable about my medical issues, thorough in her analysis, patient with her explanations, and conservative in her treatment.
Verified patient
Knowledgeable and patient with my questions.
Verified patient
She was great
Verified patient
It was good.
Verified patient
Dr. Sharma is amazing! She was prompt in seeing me, answered all of my endless questions without being too technical, and was very calming during a not-very-pleasant procedure.
Dr. Sharma was great - excellent bedside manner, she explained the procedure clearly and was attentive to how I was feeling during it. Would highly recommend her!
Although she was pleasant enough and seemed knowledgable, the appointment was rushed and I didn't feel my problem was given the attention it deserved. She basically did a five minute exam then referred me to a PT and X-ray. So overall probably only worth the co-pay for the referrals.
