Dr. Vani Sharma, MD

My 74 year old father was denied healthcare by Dr. Vani Sharma because I (his daughter) would not take hand sanitizer when I walked into the building. I do not put chemical laden sanitizer on my hands, but prefer to wash my hands instead. I asked if it was okay to wash my hands instead and the people at the front desk (taking temperatures and distributing hand sanitizer) said it was ok. However, after I spend 15 minutes filling out new patient paperwork, the nurse comes out and says that Dr. Sharma does not feel comfortable seeing you father today. I said, what? Why? The nurse said that it is the Dr's discretion who she sees, and she does not feel comfortable with me or my father because we did not take hand sanitizer!!!!! YOU have got to be kidding me! I will never got to Dr. Sharma's office again! Shame on them for denying my 74 year old father care because we did not use their hand sanitizer! Unbelievable!

All Sharma wants to do is refer you to a specialist, even for seemingly simple issues. She also orders unnecessary testing, doesn't explain to you what you will owe for it, and then sends you a huge bill for the unnecessary testing that you tried to get out of in the first place but she insisted on. I was charged nearly $300 for routine blood work.

Great doctor who is patient and kind

Great doctor. Listens to the patient, takes time, very supportive. I have been going to her for three years and plan to continue.

She is very personable, and interested in all areas of my health and well being, including my social, emotional states. She is very astute and recognizes my symptoms and needs. I feel very at ease discussing all areas of my life with her. She remembers details well, and asks questions.

Dr. Sharma took a great deal of time, showed empathy and gave me her personal cell phone number. I hope to be her patient for a long time. The office staff were very friendly and efficient. It took only 3 days to book my first appointment.
