Shamita Misra, MD

On my first visit, when I was determining my primary care physician, she was great. But since then, she’s curt, defensive when I ask for more information. When I left I felt like crying. She was really combative and made me feel stupid.

I found Dr. Misra to be in a very big hurry when I saw her. I was having an IUD inserted, and she kept talking about how busy her and her staff members were. I was very nervous, and she made me feel like I was wasting their time. She was unable to place the IUD (even though it is the smallest on the market). I think she was afraid of hurting me, but ultimately spent about a half hour poking around before telling me she wasn't comfortable inserting it because I hadn't had children. It was a terrible experience. She is not my regular physician, but I would definitely not go back.

Extremely profession and brilliant she is deeply concerned about her patients health. Ive been her patient for about 7 years now. She's made me keep up with my health screenings and is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Do call far ahead of time with rx refills as it sometimes takes a few days for the nurse to get with the doctor. Thats my only advice.

Dr. Misra has been my primary care physician for about 10 years now. She is calm and patient and always listens to my concerns. I find it hard to believe that the other review on this site is speaking of Dr. Misra. Please decide for yourself--I think she's very helpful and professional!

I thought she was an extremely rude doctor. No wonder she's always available. When I went to her she acted like it was the biggest incovenience in the world. I only went to her for a couple mandatory women's health check ups so I could continue the prescription I had. It was embarrassing enough but she acted like I was purposely insulting her somehow. The final time I went to her I asked briefly about a bite I had on my leg (I thought it was a spider bite and just wanted her to look at it) and she blew up on me saying that nothing was wrong with me and basically accusing me of making up excuses to come to the doctor. Yeah right, did I mention the former visits were mandatory and I had gone to her maybe twice in a span of a couple years before this? She refused to even look at the bite. I was SO mad and hurt by her unprofessional hissy fit. If she doesn't want to actually help people, she shouldn't be a doctor.
