Dr Sharma is an excellent doctor. He has treated my left wrist twice a few years back for the ongoing pain I had. He is very thorough, caring and attentive. He listens to his patients and then describe the treatment in detail unlike some of the other Ortho VA doctors who are always rushing the patients.

Dr Sharma was very thorough at my first visit. He ordered extra testing just to be certain of his thoughts about what is causing my hand pain. He is extremely knowledgeable about hand conditions. He has a very calming demeanor and bedside manner. It was immediately evident that he truly cares about helping and educating his patients.

I called an received an appointment within two weeks. Dr Sharma is very approachable and caring. He has good technique with administering an injection. I trust his knowledge base and would be happy to return to him should I need surgery.

I was afraid to have Dr. Sharma look at my hands. But after seeing him I feel so much better. The left hand feels 100 o/o better. The right hand is still having trouble with it. But I have to give it time, this didn't happen in one day. So I can't expect it to be better that quickly. But I have hope that I may get full use of my hand again.
