Dr. Sharma first began treating me in 2004 for stage 2 breast cancer. Since it was a fast growing tumor he treated it aggressively. When my markers were still elevated he was very thorough in trying to find out why. Dr. Sharma provided me with excellent treatment and care all with the convenience of being only a 10 minute drive away. I still go every year for my check-up. I am a patient who has been under his care for 14 years now. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I have a million good things to say about Dr. Sharma which I wish there was enough space for me to do so. He is a very compassionate and understanding doctor. My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I couldn't of asked for a better health care provider than him. I greatly appreciate his dedication and his love towards all his patients. You take the time to listen and to make your patients feel valued and respected, treating others as you would want to be treated. I want to thank you for the difference you make in the lives of your patients. Your kindness, sincere caring and concern makes everything better. I thank God often for you. Thank you for who you are and for the brilliant ONCOLOGIST you are.

Dr. Sharma is an amazing doctor. I was at a really bad state when he saw me. He did everything he could to get me back to a healthy state. It's been 3 years, and I'm back to myself. My blood work comes back clean. When i have questions, he answers them right away. When I was worried, he would reassure me that we were good. He is very direct and to the point. He doesn't sugarcoat it but that is what I needed. He was able to do a bone marrow test done right away. He is very fast and efficient.
