    I have only had great experiences with Dr Sharma. He is always up to date about my medical history. He has throughly read my other doctors comments and is always able to provide immediate feedback. I have had chronic high blood pressure for years even with taking 3 different medications. He recommended that he wanted to do a renal kidney denervation procedure that is considered optional. I trust his knowledge so I went through the procedure. So far the results are what he expected. My blood pressure is almost always normal now even though I still take the 3 medications. If it continues to be good he will be able to potentially reduce the number of medications I take daily for high BP. Amazing!
