Rolling his eyes and blunt manner, also wasn’t interested in long detailed form that would give all the information he needed!

Very kind and efficient

Dr Sharma provided an excellent service both by phone last Friday and in hospital on Tuesday. One of the best I have had. He provided great clarity on the procedure, patience in explanations, pre and post op discussions and an excellent manner in delivering all this. Can't get better than this!
3.5
Overall good. Although perhaps felt a little rushed during first consultation and wasn’t really prompted to ask any questions or raise concerns about what was to happen thereafter. When told about the need to have a gastroscopy, I felt I could have had a more reassured explanation of the procedure. I had to ask questions myself to settle any confusion. But he was pleasant enough nonetheless I suppose and explained things when asked.
5
He was really helpful and friendly and explained everything really clearly

Although I have, as yet, to meet Dr Sharma in person, I had a very satisfactory and reassuring telephone consultation with him. He answered all my questions in layman's terms and gave me all the time I needed. He put my mind at rest as to the procedure I would be having.
