Patient Reviews
Apr 29, 2020
I went to Dr. Sarma on the advice of my sister who said what a thorough Doctor she was. I was impressed too as I also felt she was very thorough. After that, two people I know personally who saw her, one with minor symptoms and the other went for a well visit and both ended up finding they had a more serious condition. Because they were caught early, they both had good outcomes. Dr. Sarma does a terrific job. I was really upset when my insurance switched and I was no longer covered to see her. With a recent insurance change though, I am hoping to be able to see her again. Highly recommend.
