Dr. Sharon Lynn Booth, MD

Dr. Booth is awesome!

I always thought women tried harder and were required to do better just to be classified as even with men. So 25 years ago, when moving to the valley I searched Dr. Booth out. I've changed insurance co. a few times and when she was not on their list, I Paid Cash. I'm retired now and as much as I would like to, I wont move back to the coast for I will never find another like her. If she retires, I'll buy the house next to her and move in. No I'm not crazy, nor do I have a crush, my wife and some friends, feel the same way She is the best, she cares and you will feel it from her first smile to you

This is by far the worst experience that I have ever had, office staff was condescending and disrespectful during phone call for follow up, I was misdiagnosed and was ignored when asked to be referred to specialist for my health concern. She would never sit with me to hear me out only write me presc and tell me to be on my way.

I love walking into a doctor's office where people smile at you and treat you with professionalism as they do here. We are only human and even i know it takes a strong and loving heart to do what they do on a daily basis. Being our sounding boards and we think we're the ones with problems. Imagine what goes through our doctor's mind at the end of the day. Because i know i can play on the doctor's nerves at times when i'm not feeling well. And i mean no harm to anyone.I have no reason to ever find another doctor, i'm in pretty good hands right now. I pray God would bless this doctor's office beyond it's containment with caring patients, who care about their doctor too. Then we can work together to get better. We appreciate the way you've taken care of us, the smile in your eyes... thank you.

Dr. Booth was my doctor for two years. During that time she was distant, ill-informed, arrogant and inaccurate in her assessment of my health problem. She prescribed drug after drug for my illness even though she had no idea of what was wrong with me. She required me to consult with her over the phone to protect her HMO bonus. My illness required weekly follow up visits and she expressed concern that her profitability would suffer if she saw me in the office every week. The problem with her phone consultations was that they were sketchy and she did not chart them in my medical record. She also failed to record the prescriptions she prescribed during our phone conversations. After a year of phone visits Dr. Booth still was unable to accurately diagnose my illness. She told me to find another doctor. She expressed her frustration, clearly speaking in an angry voice stating she was tired of working with me. She said, "You'll have to find another doctor. You refuse to take… Prozac and I don't know what you want." She offered no referral and clearly abandoned me at a time when I so sick I could barely get out of bed. I moved from Fresno and found a doctor in the Bay Area who accurately diagnosed my illness during my first visit. I have hepatitis C. I contracted it from a blood transfusion. The drugs Dr. Booth blindly prescribed for me, the ones we know about, placed my liver, and thereby my life, at high risk. My sister also saw Dr. Booth for muscle twitching and partial paralysis in her feet. After eight months Dr. Booth was unable to diagnose my sister's illness. My sister was also forced to find a doctor in the Bay Area who diagnosed her with the illness that eventually ended her life. On a scale from 1-5, I give Dr. Booth a -1. She seems to be easily bored, looks for the odd and obscure instead of the obvious, ignores what she dose not want to hear, has questionable skill as a doctor, and relies too heavily on antidepressants to nullify her patient's concerns instead of doing the grinding work that her license requires. Patient's who suffer from any illness more complex than a stubbed toe or the common cold and have Dr. Booth as their physician, would, in my opinion, be at risk for their life.

Every time I visit Dr. Booth's office she is very kind and concerned about my well being. She makes helpful suggestions and listens to my concerns. Her office staff is very attentive and caring. I especially appreciate that her staff is always on top of quickly completing referrals and follow ups.
