Jul 13, 2020
I have seen Dr Sharma many times for my health and that of family members . He is an excellent cardiologist with current knowledge of all medicines and procedures . He did a very efficient catheterization on my husband and prevented unnecessary stunting He was very caring and explained the whole procedure and results to me in simple terms . I recommend him without question to anyone with a heart problem looking for first class compassionate care and possibly interventional treatment
