Dr. Shiv Kumar Sharma, MD

This is the best doctor in Hammond. Why? Because he genuinely cares about you and what is best for you. This is why....1. Dr. Sharma remembers everything you tell him, no matter how long ago your last visit was. He remembers your family, your children and shares about his own family. He is respectful of your values including your sexual preference.2. Dr. Sharma makes you feel like you are worth his time. He calls you into the examining room himself. He takes your vitals and weighs you. He doesn't make an assistant or nurse do that. And you don't wind up sitting in an examining room waiting forever for the doctor to come in.3. Dr. Sharma gives you options according to your preferences and what your insurance will pay for. For example, if you need a prescription, he will not force a certain drug on you. He will give you several options that take cost and your preference into account. The same goes for test like MRI vs. CT scan.4. Dr. Sharma is more than willing to learn… about new things. Such as if you ask him for a medication he has never prescribed or a test he is unfamiliar with. He will call another doctor to find out more.I have since moved out of Hammond but I still travel over 30 miles to see Dr. Sharma when I need to.
