Unethical billing practices. On 12/6/2017 I went to Dr. Sharma for an routine eye exam. During my visit they asked for my insurance card. I gave it to them but told them it did not cover eye exams and I was going to pay out of pocket so I handed them my Visa and was charged $65. Two months later I get an invoice for $180 "Comprehensive eye exam" charges denied by my medical insurance. Why would they try to bill my insurance since I told them I didn't have it and when I had already paid them? I have gone round and round with the billing department, their reasoning is "why did you give them (the office) an insurance card" I thought it was to get my personal (HIPPA) info from. I had no idea they would try and charge me twice. This is really unfortunate as Dr. Sharma is a professional and a good doctor, however the staff and billing practices will end up getting this office into a lot of trouble. read more

Sharma did a fantastic job with my recent cosmetic procedures. I have spent most of my years outside without the use of sunscreen causing extensive sun damage, spots and wrinkles. Dr. Sharma performed chemical peels, lip fillers and laser hair removal--all of which have helped me look years younger!! Her kind, gentle manner, along with her medical expertise, made me so comfortable with these procedures. I have received numerous compliments on my skin and face and cannot recommend her enough!! read more

Dirty old equipment. Insane waiting time. Expired medications on the desk. Reported to the proper authorities.

Before I went to this place in Los Banos, I had perfect vision, no problems seeing ANYTHING. My primary made the appt as a yearly routine check-up. So I went. Silly me! Long story short: She prescribed me prescription eye drops for pressure in my eyes (?) and said I needed laser surgery to correct this "problem", which no other optometrist had ever said I had before. Several tests later, we were done. After having to beg them for my written eye prescription when we were done, I proceeded to go to the Dollar Tree and get my $200 readers that they tried to sell me (1.25 strength) for $1. I started the eye drops that night. After two weeks on these drops, I could NO LONGER SEE FINE PRINT CLEARLY without my Dollar Store readers. I don't know what she did to my eyes, what she gave me, but I've never had any issues with seeing ANYTHING until I went here. Luckily they cancelled my second appt without notice. I wouldn't have gone back ever again anyways. If you can avoid them, do it! Your eyes will thank you. I only gave them one star because I couldn't give them a zero. read more

Scammed, Horrible customer service, Sociopaths. Doctor is great. I'm a guy, I ordered black glasses that say "black crystal" but turned out to look BRIGHT PURPLE-PINK in the sun light. Not only was this order wrong, and deceiving. But i was also made fun of after unknowingly wearing the glasses in public for 2 weeks in school. So i brought them back to this clinic, and waited 45 minutes just to describe a simple mistake on their end. As i begin to describe what happen after waiting. The woman who prescribed me these purple pink glasses tried convincing me as if there was no problem at first. Until, the sun came out and saw the purple pinkness in the glasses. Resulting and telling me "My hands are tied on this one", "I'll tell the doctor to call you" "These were the only ones we had". To this day i have got no call back. I got scammed for glasses that look purple pinkish. I will delete this review once my issue has been solved but as of now, i am not happy. read more

Sharma Nazhat - seriously - Optometrists Near Me

See all

I actually haven't seen Dr. Nazhat--she's probably wonderful--but for patients with Medi-Cal (which will pay for the exam, although not glasses), I wanted to mention that this doctor does require a referral from one of the Hazel Hawkins hospital clinics (per her receptionist). (I don't use these clinics--so was a bit disappointed, as Hollister only has two choices for getting a new eyeglasses prescription.) read more

Dr. Sharma seems to be a good doctor, but her office staff really shows no knowledge of how to run a office. We got sent to collections for not paying 26. dollars. Question why wouldn't we have paid that stupid amount. My husband kept going in for visits and paid his copay but was never told we had a balance and never received a bill in the mail. But we did receive the letter from collection agency. Collection agency was great and understanding. Proceeded to make appointment with office for my husband was cancelled a day before and said we cant see you , you been sent to collections but never received a get rid of letter from doctor. Unprofessional, bad office staff. Dr Sharma you need to fix your office staff. read more

This lady is a fraud. Whoever gave her a 5 star review must work for her or be related. She tells all jer patients that they have high pressure in their eyes and tries to put them on eye drops so they keep coming back to see if the pressure is going down. I switched to an optometrist in san jose and he knew about Dr Sharma. He advised me to stay away from her for the same reason. Ask other Dr's about her they all know. read more

Poor billing practices!! She will sneak in unnecessary tests that are not covered by insurance and bill you for them. I was supposed to have the pressure in my eyes checked. Instead she had her technician sit me down at a machine and perform a test which I later found out is a "field of vision" test. She had never discussed this test with me, and never gave me the results. But she did bill me for it, because it wasn't covered by my insurance. She never replied to any of my four queries about the bill, but turned it over to a collection agency. So in the end I had to pay for it or ruin my credit, and I never did get the pressure in my eyes checked!! I have since changed doctors to another group here in Hollister and have been pleasantly surprised at the level of professionalism and care I have received. Avoid Dr. Sharma! read more

This place is HORRIBLE! DON'T EVER GO HERE!! Even if you medi-cal FIND ANOTHER place! You are only saving your self some hassel. They give away prescriptions to everyone! It's a scam! They called me to set up for a check up and I did. Never had a problem before. As soon as she's done. I need glasses. It was weird. I never struggled to see never complained about headache or forced to focus. They sold be some glasses that according to them were worth over $120 medi-cal only covered partial cost. ANYWAY I found those same glasses and with more colors for $20!!! This place needs to be reported! Get the board of directors involved. The place is super outdated, the people that work there are super weird and not the friendliest. For people that depend on medi-cal ..please take the time to find another place. I had the headache to get a second opinion. This place is not worth it! I wish I could give this place negative star . BUT IT GETS ONE BECAUSE I HAVE TO. read more

I love this woman/Dr. I went in with what I thought was a stye but it turned out to be something else. The doctor was patient, kind and professional. She explained everything clearly and I left feeling good! She is a gem!!! read more

one word....quack. I would not recommend taking a child to Dr. Sharma. First prescribed eye glasses for my child until she found out we did not have vision care. We ended up taking our child to another physician who properly evaluated our child (incidently 20/20 vision) and provided a follow up with our pediatrician. I would never see Dr. Sharma again, not for my child and certainly not for myself. read more
