Insurance is expensive, but increasing health issues made it necessary, so referred to Sharma’s office who ordered colonoscopy & endoscopy. After several weeks, finally scheduled but the office calls to cancel 2 days before procedure saying because of my bcbs they have to set it up at another facility. That was September & eventually they called to say it was all set for January. Taken to outpatient surgery area & doctor says insurance only covers the colonoscopy but you can pay cash ($1200) for the endoscopy. Told him just ... read more

Dr. Sharma was able to diagnose a rare liver problem and a friend of mine. He flew back and forth between Houston and San Antonio to help with his patient. Which is way beyond the call of duty. He also helped organize a team to deal with this rare condition. And then he would fly back home to San Antonio. Those of you that live in San Antonio should be very grateful you have this doctor in your area.

He's probably a competent doctor, but he rushes through everything. The office staff doesn't return calls in a timely manner. They are very busy at this office and probably see too many people each day so the care you get after a long wait is rushed. I was actually referred to Dr. Sharma's partner Seema Dar but my pain was so bad, I couldn't wait the 3 weeks for an appointment with her and had to settle for Dr. Sharma.

I had a very positive experience. I was quickly called back and the doctor was waiting for me. He showed me the pictures of the procedure and explained the areas of concern. He was informative and listened to questions/comments I had. I told him I was looking for a new PCP-he took the time to refer someone in my area and checked to make sure they were taking new patients before giving me their information. On time, thorough, patient, attentive and helpful! I really liked the staff as well!

Do not recommend this office at all. Very poor quality and worst timing ever. Both times that I have been here I've arrived early and they still took more than 40 minutes to an hour after the set appointment time to take me in. They even call you to reschedule your first set appointment often. Terrible service. I go to ask the woman behind the counter why I've been waiting for 30 minutes to see Sharma, and before I utter a word, she says she'll see when the doctor can get with me with such attit

I waited over two hours past my appointment time for a colonoscopy. He came by after the procedure but told my wife he didn?t have time to answer her questions. He never came back. I woke up in intense pain from too much air pumped into me. He also inflamed hemorrhoids which six weeks later are still painful. I had no pain going into the procedure. This was the third colonoscopy I?ve had and the only one with any pain. Two different pharmacies could not get hold of his office.
