Ratings for Dr. Anjali Sharma
1.9
I was in mental health crisis and took myself to the hospital in 2019. I waited 14 hours to see her. The staff in the ER continued to apologize on her behalf and genuinely looked confused as to the hold up. I was 20 years old. She sat me in a hallway, ignored me and completely, stayed laughing and chatting with other people walking past as I begged for help. She turned me away after approx 3 minutes. I was halfway through the parking lot shaking, when an ER doctor who kept checking in on me begged me to come back and when I refused she promised to have my family doctor call me first thing to see me. She kept her promise. My experience with Dr. Anjali Sharma was deplorable and I truly hope she has her license revoked. I’m alive today no thanks to her.
After an attempt on my life, I first met her at 16. She was both rude to my parents and to me. I was stuck having a panic attack as she proceeded to yell at me that she was sending me to Child and Adolescent In Patient, after speaking of it like it was some form of punishment. At 17, I met her again after harming myself. She saw my early diagnosis of BPD and villainized me for it. “People like you,” she said. Apparently, I’m selfish due to my unhealthy coping mechanisms. Apparently, I couldn’t care less about those who care about me… all this came from someone I’d met only twice. A stranger who claimed she’d diagnose me with sociopathy if I had been old enough. Why? Because I grew up with a diagnosis of ODD… said diagnosis had been previously waved by a psychologist earlier that year and replaced with RAD. I wasn’t a sociopath, but I sure thought she was.
She needs to have her license pulled. She doesn't truly care about the patients or their families. If she did her job properly, there wouldn't be so many relapsed patients. She doesn't actually listen.
Key principles of the Hippocratic Oath Beneficence and Non-Maleficence: To help the sick, apply beneficial treatments, and avoid harm and overtreatment. I wonder, did you skin this day?
I'll be direct. If you are a woman with any mental health condition, this doctor will tell you you have borderline personality disorder and will then proceed to tell you that borderline isn't actually a mental illness but that it is a personal failing. That's what she does. She is obviously incompetent and unable to properly assess people.
Actually some family members are amazed how you help people destroy their lives; no one ever challenged your honesty, perhaps competency. Some patients and family members are dismayed by the heights of your agency, your inability to hear anything but what you want to believe, that which you have pre-arranged in your mind. Your inability to consider anything beyond the scope of your vision, thus hurting people in the process, does not lead one to be a good doctor, perhaps the opposite. But who am I but the effects of your lies, those lies one tells themselves each day as you waltz in your parade. Those lies of destruction from the wake that you made, but this does not make one a good doctor!
Dr.Sharma is an honest doctor, some patients don't like her because she speaks the truth, some patients don't like to hear that, while I was admitted she helped me realize some things about myself and where I need to change, medication only helps a bit and some dedication work on my part. Dr.Sharma took the time to explain to my family my mental health so they can support me more, she was very helpful.
dismissive, instills zero confidence to the point that I'm seriously doubting her credentials
Made the wrong diagnosis within 5 minutes of talking to me. Had no clue how to deal with a person with depression and was insensitive to my real problems. Her diagnosis can impact my future and now I cannot have it changed. She is cold and condescending. Should not be a doctor. Very disappointing and hurtful.
worst experience ever, does not listen nor care about you. Kept interrupting me, I left the office bawling after she said I was "fine" and there was nothing she could do to help me
