Please don't go.... Because of his negligence my wife had a very serious life threatening infections. read more

Dr. Sharma was a very caring surgeon who worked at making me feel comfortable during my diagnosis surgery and aftercare. Being that I was unfamiliar with this surgery and all of the aspects (insurance, prequalification, preparation, and other surgical related details) the care coordinator in Dr. Sharma's office was thorough, providing me with all the necessary information. Dr. Sharma never rushed me, was patient, kind, and afforded me all the time I needed for questions. His warmth and compassion helped to reduce my anxiety and fear. After meeting and speaking to Dr. Sharma in person, I knew I had made the right decision over other practices. He did not disappoint, and I would refer him to anyone needing robotic hysterectomy surgery! Please Note: THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY IS THE INITIAL HOSPITAL CARE YOU RECEIVE FROM THAT HOSPITAL'S STAFF. THE HOSPITAL STAFF is the ones that take care of you before you are released, in terms of ability to move, pain management, meds, and follow-up care etc. You must be vocal without having another person in the room to help advocate for you. read more

Dr. Sharma is one of the best gynecologic oncologists in the Chicagoland area. Unfortunately, he's not the type of doctor you want to go to very often (these issues are very, very scary), but he knows what he is doing and he is one of the best doctors I've ever met. I was referred here by my gynecologist, whom I trust very much (and have reviewed highly). I had pre-cancerous cells growing on my cervix and my gynecologist did not feel comfortable treating the problem; she wanted to send me to a specialist who does this for a living. Dr. Sharma's entire practice is seeing patients and performing gynecologic surgeries (minor and major) - he knows what he's doing. I was worried to see him but he put my mind at ease. He explained everything that was going on, told me how my surgery would go and he was available during the three weeks leading up to my procedure to answer all of my 1000s of questions over the phone because I was so nervous. His office staff is also really nice and caring - if he wasn't available to talk, his nurse would always call back and she was really caring. My procedure was a complete success. He walked me through everything on the day of the surgery and even held my hand when I was scared of general anesthesia. I was completely done in about an hour and he got rid of all the pre-cancerous cells on my cervix. Dr. Sharma really is a great doctor and he knows exactly what he is doing. If you ever have any gynecologic issues (or need a second opinion), I highly, highly recommend Dr. Sharma. read more

We believe Dr. Sharma and his caring staff has given our loved one a shot at many more years of life. She has stage 4 Ovarian cancer and is 87. The cancer is gone after 6 Chemo treatments and she will be followed closely from here on out. Our patient was given steroids and anti nausea medicine to make the whole experience as tolerable as possible. We cannot thank Dr. Sharma and his staff enough -- he did not write off an older woman and he treated her conservatively and with great care. Our family member leaves this experience wanting to help and encourage other younger women through what can be a very scary process. I know she will devote herself to that. read more

I went in for major surgery (a planned inpatient stay) on June 21st, with Dr Sharma as my surgeon. I should have gone elsewhere. He never put any pain management meds in for after surgery. Almost 4 hours of pain & screaming in my room later did I finally receive any pain meds. It still took hours for any pain medication. It should not have taken me shaking in pain, crying, screaming & my husband asking for the head of the hospital for relief. I didn't see Dr Sharma until my discharge. The nurse was getting everything together for my discharge when he came in to my room. She asked him to put my at home pain management medication in the system to the pharmacy so she could get it for me to go home. He responded, " I can't. I don't know how to do that." He gave me no restrictions & when I asked he responded while walking out of my room,"use your common sense." He also gave me no follow up appointment, or wound care. How can you release anyone with out basic wound care instructions or restrictions? Absolutely horrific experience. read more

I am so happy to see how many people did not have the sickening experience I had at this office. From the front desk to the doctor, every minute at this office was a nightmare. I was told to arrive fifteen minutes early, even though I had already filled out the paperwork- no problem. When I did, I found a waiting room with no receptionist to greet me and the office actually smelled foul. My appointment time came and went and no sign of a receptionist. About 20 minutes after my appointment time, someone appeared from either a smoke break (the entire place smelled of cigarette smoke at this point) or a very long lunch, with no apology for making me wait. After gathering my insurance info, she told me the doctor HAD DECIDED TO TAKE AN EXTENDED LUNCH, so it would be a few more minutes. I should have walked right out, because Dr. Sharma was not worth the wait. His bedside manner is quite possibly the worst I have experienced. I don't care if he is the best in his field. He is rude, interrupts you, and makes you feel ashamed if he does not agree with you. I hope he's proud of himself- I cried for days following this appointment. read more

Molly N, I don't mean to sound trite, but you got off easily compared to my experience. I'm looking into legalities at the moment. Be glad you left. read more

Dr. Sharma saved my life. He and his extremely caring staff are just the very best there is. I had stage three ovarian cancer. Dr. Sharma made sure that I received a surgery appointment before he was due to leave town, so that the cancer was removed as soon as possible. He proscribed an intensive course of chemotherapy to make sure all the cancer was gone. His nurses and staff were so kind, and took such good care of me. They were even fantastic advocates for me with my insurance company, making sure that I got the anti-nausea medications I needed. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful doctor and his staff. read more

Let me start by giving the reason for 1 star. It has nothing to do with Dr Sharma or his office staff, who were all absolutely wonderful! This is based solely on the billing service. My visit was on April 21st. I was required to pay a $40.00 co-payment at the time of service. I had no issue with doing so because I know what my insurance benefits are and expected to have to pay this up front. Subsequently, I received an explanation of benefits from my insurance which indicated they paid my claim as a wellness visit (based on the diagnosis submitted by the billing service). Therefore, the claim was paid at 100% and I was responsible for nothing. I waited several weeks for a refund of the money I paid up front. On June 26th, I still hadn't received a refund and called the office. The office instructed me to call the billing service phone, which they provided. When I called the number, the woman answering only said "Hello". She didn't answer the phone in any type of professional manner. I explained the situation and she told me she would look into it and send a refund if necessary. As of today, no refund has been received. I called the billing phone again today. Once again, the phone is answered "Hello?". I again explained who I was and the issue with the refund. The woman questioned what my insurance card says regarding co-pays because in her words "if it shows a copay on the card, you owe it". I attempted to explain that my insurance paid the claim at 100% and shows that I owe nothing. Again, she insisted that Blue Cross pays claims "funny" and that I would still owe the copay. I explained to her that I work for a medical office and this is what I do for a living. I process medical bills, claims, etc. I further stated what she is doing is wrong. She said she would look into it. I replied, "No, you told me that last month and did nothing." She replied she didn't have time. I told her that if I do not receive the refund that I am entitled to, I will file a complaint with my credit card company. I told her what she is doing is wrong and not acceptable. At that point she responded with a very snide tone and said she would have a check cut to me. This is so completely WRONG! This doctor treats patients with cancer and his billing service is overcharging the patients. I pray that I will not have to return to this doctors office. Again, this review is not directed at the care I received, because that was outstanding. This review is only based on the poor customer service I received from the doctor's billing service. read more

Dr. Sharma is the Doctor for gynecologic cancer issues. I was referred to him by my Gy/Ob whom I trust completely (told me this is who he would send his wife to if ever needed) and he did not disappoint. He explained everything to my husband and I as to what he was going to do for my early stage endometrial cancer. His preferred method is to use the DaVinci and I would highly recommend it. I had my surgery on a Friday and was home on Saturday----walking around, showering -- and never taking a pain pill stronger than an Advil (and even that for one day). By Thursday of the following week I was cleared to drive.....and except for being a bit sore in my abdoman (I had a radical hysterectomy) I was pretty good to go. Amazing!! He is a confident Doctor and that comes through - but not in a cocky way. He actually has a great sense of humor and put us at ease throughout the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I went to this specialist at the request of my primary gynecologist. I needed a second opinion for a recent diagnosis. I called this morning to ask a few questions and felt completely dismissed and the representative was so unhelpful. I asked what my bill would be, she just said I don't know. Call your provider. Later I did and needed the procedure code. I called back and spoke with another rep who said, I don't know what that other person told you, we take bc/bs ppo all day. That wasted about 20 minutes of my time while working, very frustrating as I have taken a lot of time off work to deal with this issue already. Then I get to the appointment. The front desk was lovely, the nurse was kind. Dr. Sharma was 10-15 minutes late for my appointment, even though I saw him wandering around the office. I met with him a total of 10-15 minutes at most. He did not take the time to listen, had zero bedside manner, was rude and at one point told me I had pre-cancer. My doctors have never uttered these words. He did not take a single concern of mine into consideration. When "apparently" the appointment was over, he mumbled something and left. I waited a few minutes and finally collected my things and asked, uhhh, are we done here? He said yeah, yeah and just kind of tossed my prescription at me. I still have no clue what the plan is to fix my problem is but I feel nowhere near the finish line and I'm so frustrated. It even took the pharmacist a few minutes to decipher his prescription! All in all, this has been the most harrowing six weeks of my life and Dr. Sharma did absolutely nothing to make me feel better. I went home crying and called my doctor and explained the situation. I want them to know this is the terrible person they are referring their patients to in hopes that they will stop. read more

Dr. Sharma is the doctor you would want to take care of your loved one. In this instance, the "loved one" is me.. He is an incredibly talented surgeon, and all of the medical community is very familiar with his talent and success. He was not "rude" or abrasive. He is a cancer doctor and he wants to make you, his patient, yet another success. read more

My husband and I are so impressed with Dr. Sharma and his Staff. He has a tremendous and caring bedside manner and before and after the surgery explained in detail everything we needed to know to calm our anxiety. He is an amazing and knowledgeable and caring doctor. His nurse, Peg Gregus, was so helpful to us giving us coaching and care and his receptionist, Debbie, helped us obtain letters we needed from Dr. Sharma to cancel airline reservations. All of the staff and I didn't get all the names were amazing and caring and helpful to us. I would give 10 stars if that choice was available. Kevin and Marty McGuire read more

Patient, kind and answers all your questions. He came highly recommended by my Dr. and I am very happy I chose him to perform my surgery.
