Dr Sharma provided me with amazing support when I broke my wrist. He was very thorough with checks and I felt in safe hands. I would 100% recommend.

my experience was poor with Mr Sharma, I consulted him in a devastating situation with a cat bite to my hand with tenosynovitis and a dysfunctional hand. In 10 minutes I was out of his consulting room being interrupted several times. No empathy and no 2nd opinion input given

I sincerely appreciate your feedback. Your experience is very important to me, and I’m truly sorry to hear that the consultation did not meet your expectations. I understand that following your treatment at St. Peter’s Hospital on 19th June 2023, you were prescribed antibiotics and underwent an ultrasound that indicated no injuries or infections. When you came to me for a second opinion, I was pleased to reassure you that there was no cellulitis and that the mechanics of your thumb were functioning well. Recognising that navigating your recovery can be challenging, I suggested that you continue with your current treatment plan and consider hand therapy. I am here to support. Please know that my clinic is always open to all patients. Your health and peace of mind are my top priorities, and I am committed to helping you through this journey.
