He was recertified by the board in December 2006.

After graduating from medical school as Valedictorian, he received the esteemed Robert Dripps Award for Best Resident at Monmouth Medical Center, where he continues today as Director of Pain Management. Subsequently, Dr. Sharma was named Best Graduating Fellow at the Cleveland Clinic. And his elite status was confirmed by his rating as one of the top pain management doctors in the Greater New York area by the firm Castle & Connelly.

His expertise ranges from diagnosing difficult and rare cases, to pinpointing the source of back pain, neck pain and other chronic pain conditions. He is a leading spine specialist of state-of-the-art techniques such as percutaneous discectomy, Implantable Pumps, Spinal Cord Stimulators, and more complex spinal procedures and injections.
