Definitely agree with all the other women!! This doctor and staff are sooo unprofessional. The very FIRST time I visited the office she was in and out within 5 mins(That includes sonogram & vaginal exam)! I thankfully switched doctors. FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!!!

I agree with the persons below, i had her as my second childs doctor, she delivered through c-section. I got an infection in my scar and it caused it to re-open in three places, i asked her over and over if i should be cleaning it or something she said No, i'll change your antibiotics..I had the infection for four weeks and i finally switched doctors, he told me i just needed to clean it and it started healing in a week.But i still have to look at three big ''hole'' scars everyday .That was a very scary time for me and i would not want any other expectant mother to have to go through that, i am glad that there is a website out there to enlighten others in the choice of there doctor.

Please check you OB carefully in the future. This doctor was on the news and my neice still went to her. Then when she was 5 months and I found out I made her change DR. The new doc told her something was wrond with her baby and it could not survive out of the wound in one visit. I also had a friend that went to her and they could not even get her epidural right when she was in labor. I was in Awh at how she came in the room and talked to her. She met her when she went in labor for the first time. I have 5 children and had ver good OB's. Check out DR. Blake Friden and DR. M. Todd Ruk at Medical City of Dallas. DR. Frieden use to take medicaid not sure now but Dr. Ruk only accepts insurance.

I don't know how far along I am they have given me 3 different due dates, one for sure is just not a possibility. So I'm somewhere around 35 weeks, have never seen the Dr. and literally had to hold on to the nurse to keep her in the room to ask her questions. None of which were answered anyway the response was...Oh you have plenty of time to decide what you should do. Last time I checked pregnancy was not an infinite condition. It's just sad and disappointing.

I have gone to this doctor for about 10 yrs. I only have seen the doctor once. When I first went 10 years ago. I leave numerous messages and never get responses. I have to continue to call back. When I ask for supervisors or the doctor to call, I go to voicemail. Somethimes calling throughout the day you just get voicemail and busy. Does anyone work in this office??? Everything seemed to be better when she had the office by Mesquite hospital, but since she moved offices, the staff seems to not know how to help a patient. I am a current patient that is looking for a new doctor because of this.

Dr. Dharma is absolutely the worst doctor I have ever seen. I have never been pregnant, but had my yearly paps and a couple of other appointments for the past 3 years, and have not met Dr. Dharma ONCE!!! Her staff (interns) are not smart, and try to schedule unnecessary appointments to try to get more money out of you!!! FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!

I am currently looking for another doctor!! I had an appointment last week and was told that i had symptoms of preclampsia. They made me do a 24 hour unrine test and told me to come back that Monday. I went in as scheduled and the nurse (i have never seen this lady before)said "you were just here last week, why are you back?" I cant believe they did not have anything in the records about me having to do the 24 hour or anything. When I explained to her why i was back she said "oh, i will check the lab results" she listened to the babys heart beat for about 15 seconds then left the room. 10 minutes later she popped her head in the door and said "you're fine, you can leave." I didnt even have time to ask her anything. I have NEVER met Dr. Dharma and I am 7 months pregnant. I would not recomend her to anyone!

PLEASE research and find another doctor. I visted the office for heavy bleeding at the start of April 08 and saw 3 different doctors including Dr. Dharma until July 2008. I was prescribed birthcontrol pills. It was always rush, rush and no time taken with patients. Finally in July 2008 after being seen in the office over 8 times, the pain was unbearable and Dr. Dharma finally did a sonogram and found a huge tumor growing into my uterus. She had previously diagnosed this just as a small cyst when she did a pelvic exam. I immediately went for a second opinion and my new doctor perfomed emergency surgery. My new dr doesn't know how Dr. Dharma did not feel the mass. I could have bled too much. I am not at home recovering from a surgery that could've been done 4 months ago. Go See Someone Else!!!

This is the worst doctor that I have ever witnessed practicing. Her office in Mesquite was filthy. When I decided to switch Dr.'s because I heard from nurses at local hospitals how horrible she was during delivery (rushing deliveries by using the vacuum suction devise as well as PULLING placentas out of patients instead of waiting for them to deliver) they refused to release my records. When i went to my new dr. my blood pressure was so high that their nurse offered to go back to dharma's office to get my records and told me not to go back. of course i didn't. thank GOD that I switched doctors when I did. Dr. Sami Constantine was a godsend to me and his practice is the TOTAL opposite of Dharma's. He is 100% professional, caring, intelligent, etc....can't say enough of how great he truly is!!!

I had the same problems as the first two posters, this lady only saw me once during my pregnancy. She gave me a sonogram that was less than 1 minute long, and the picture was blurry. I was of course disappointed, because it was the only sonogram I had during my entire pregnancy. Her staff was unprofessional and would talk about their love lives etc. in front of patients. My baby was later delivered by a different doctor. (I think the rude poster may actually work for the office, why else would she attack someone for their opinion??) Seems suspicious to me.
