I have never been to a medical office that had such kind, passionate staff members like Advance Memory Research center has. It is an absolute pleasure to go to my appointments.

I feel very fortunate to be party of a family of Doctors and associates who are compassionate, patient, encouraging, positive and posses a great sense of humor. I know that I can talk to them at anytime and know that they are really listening to me. I feel very safe and secure at AMRI. I look forward to seeing them and I know that they will always be there for me. Honestly, I couldn't get through this without all of them!

Dr. Sharma is the most caring man I've ever met. His patients are very important to him. When you are in the examining room with him, you are the only patient in the world and he gives you as much time as you need.

Love, Love, Love Dr. Sharma. He took care of my mom during her illness with Alzheimer's. He is kind, compassionate, detailed, and cares not only for his patients but the family members (caregivers) too. Currently, Dr Sharma is the doctor for my dad, aunt, uncle and several other relatives. I can't say enough about him and would recommend him highly.

I joined Doctor Sharma about 3 years ago. It was the best decision for me and my health. He spends a good amount of time when visiting. And explains in detail. When i had an emergency he visited me everyday and made sure I was being taken care of by him and the hospital. Bless Him

He doesn't care about you, or your condition. He LEAVES TOWN without ANY NOTICE. He does not want to be contacted or questions about anything. Save yourself the stress and find a different doctor!

My fellow friends and I have had a great time with Dr.Sharma. He really cares about you and tries to do as much as he can. His practice is now becoming very very big ,but that does not mean he will not take the time for you as an individual! I also now attend his memory clinic.

On my parents first visit, Dr Sharma was very kind & patient gathering their past medical history. The staff were very helpful & friendly. When my Mom was admitted to the hospital, he visited her in the emergency room & took over her care immediately. He is a wonderful doctor & human being.
