Padmaja Sharma, MD

I will start with the receptionists– very friendly, answered all my questions and professional. The doctor made me feel very comfortable, listened and answered to all my concerns and very good.

Dr Sharma is a great doctor. I was referred to her due to couple huge fibloids that caused a few other health issues. The doctor and her staff were super efficient and caring and were able to schedule me in for a surgery to timely address my medical issues. Dr Sharma visited me daily while I was at the hospital and was very caring. Her surgical skill and knowledge is the area are super great. I didn’t experience complications and I feel fine during my recovery.
I had a full abdominal hysterectomy and the surgery took place within 10 days from my condition was diagnosed. The whole experience seemed nerve wrecking but also had been very great with Dr Sharma’s care. Her staffs were also very helpful to help processing paper works as well that are needed for SDI.
I truly appreciate that Dr Sharma is my dr. I highly recommend her. Cheers!

She is really nice, she was able to find out the root cause of my wife’s gynec problem. We were seeking for medical help in India from past 7 years and Dr Padmaja solved it in 3 months. I would really recommend her!!!

F*ck this place! I haven’t been there, haven’t met the doctor, but the front desk receptionist who answered the phone when I called was a complete bitch with a sour attitude. It’s a shame I can’t give the doctor a proper rating, but the staff represents her. Apparently the receptionist called me back when I left a message hours ago and supposedly spoke with me when I wasn’t available to answer the phone? Like WTF was she speaking with a ghost? Cause it wasn’t me. Instead of dealing with the situation respectfully and professionally she continued to argue with me back and forth that she did indeed speak with me even without confirming who she was speaking with. That’s complete bullshit. Go die. Thanks. Bye.

Dr. Sharma and her staff are always accommodating. She’s high in demand as her waiting room is always full and is out a few afternoons a week for surgeries which just shows her level of expertise. She’s caring with excellent bed-​side manner as well. I’ve been to other Obgyns in the past and can say I’ve never felt as taken care of as I do here. I’ll keep going to her for as long as she can see me!

I was referred to dr sharma. When I called I was placed on hold for a few min and a lady came to the phone, asked what I needed and what insurance I have, and then said they weren’t accepting new patients. I asked if she knew where I could go for an appointment and she said she didn’t know.
So thanks for all your help and medical services!

Great doctor since the beginning of my pregnancy to giving birth! I couldn’t be happier with the care I received! Dr. Sharma is very kind, takes her time with you during visits and very easy to talk to. She answers all your questions thoroughly. Definitely recommend her.

I can’t comment on the quality of care, just customer service.
I called Dr. Sharma;s office today and was met with nothing but rudeness. The woman who picked up immediately answered with a standard greeting then asked if I would hold. Before she even finished her sentence, she hit the hold button! I never have a problem holding except once when my dog was throwing up blood at my feet and holding was not an option with my vet’s office, but really? What if I was a patient of Dr. Sharma’s and I was having an emergency?!
While on hold, I was constantly reminded I was on hold by this obnoxious beeping every few seconds.
When the woman came back on the phone, I explained to her I am a Kaiser patient looking for a clinic to do a Panorama blood test since Kaiser does not do it. She asked me what insurance I have… I have Kaiser… through my job? She said I was wrong and had to have other insurance and kept asking what other insurance I had. I repeated myself several times at which point she finally told me they were «very busy and not taking new patients» in a tone that sounded ticked off like I had wasted her time or something.
I was given two doctors in my area to call by the people who do the testing as potential doctors. I was pre-​warned that most doctors will not take one time patients for the test, so I’m not bothered by the fact they said no. Just the overall bitchy tone of the woman on the phone.
Don’t worry about my test though. The doctor I called after, who I should have called first, was nothing but polite. They also put me on hold, but at least they waited for me to say I could hold, thanked me for offering to hold, and THEN put me on hold. I was on hold for quite some time with them, but she apologized profusely and kindly and very warmly set me up an appointment as soon as possible. My $ 800 CASH and myself will be seeing them in just a few weeks. I have half a mind to call the test company back and tell them how terribly I was treated so they stop referring patients over and send them to the other gyn instead.

I recently delivered my baby with doctor sharma (3/15/14)…shes great very understanding… answers all your questions… and the girls in the reception area are great… i have nothing to complain about! IF & ONLY IF I DECIDE TO HAVE MY THIRD… ill definitly be coming back to them… the hospital where i delivered which is coviniently next door to her offixe was also great… thanks much…

I have received the worst service with this doctor. Nothing was clear in their billing process. I have been told that I will not be charged for the first visit because it is preventive care. Amisha also confirmed that she called up my insurance 800 number that I am eligible. Finally my insurance refuse to pay the bill. because this doctor is out of network. I have to pay full amount.
They ordered for lab test and we went there in the morning 7am. they is no order was placed. I could not reach their number because that was saturday. and phone was out of order.
Please dont ever choose these doctor.

In my experience with gynaes, Dr Sharma is the best. My past experiences with other gynaes made me feel I was either a number and were rather dismissive and quick to have me out of the office or they are simply difficult to get an appointment with. But I have the most positive experience at Dr Sharma’s from conception to birth.
Dr Sharma is always kind and patient and she takes time to listen to me and my questions. She is also always thorough in each meeting. I feel very well taken care of and confident about my choice of doctor through the entire experience. At the birth of my son, I was glad that Dr Sharma was there to personally deliver the baby and it was such a positive and happy birth experience. She had good rapport with the nurses at the L&D ward at Washington Hospital and all of them together made such a great team for the whole delivery experience.
The staff at Dr Sharma’s are great too — I got to see Amisha and Sophia very often since I had two Non Stress Tests twice a week. Amisha and Sophia are friendly and professional and often help me with all the paperwork that I needed done for the course of my pregnancy.
Speaking of Non Stress Tests, I am super glad Dr Sharma offers this right in her office and I never had to wait very long to see her, which is great since I usually need to return to work right after the doctor appointment. At each visit past my 36 weeks, I was always able to «see» my baby on the ultrasound (though 2D) and that was nice. At my first pregnancy with another gynae, I was only sent to the ultrasound when she prescribed one or at the specific pregnancy milestones.
All in all, my experience here is the best and I highly recommend Dr Sharma.

I never bother to write reviews unless I’m extremely satisfied or dissatisfied. In the case of Padmaja Sharma I have been nothing but happy. While looking for a gynecologist to deliver my baby, I was referred to her and I was very pleased.
Her and her staff, Jenny and Amisha, took me in and answered all my questions. I had left another OBGYN in Castro Valley who was so unsympathetic and unreliable, so I wanted to chose the right place to delivery my first baby.
Jenny was alway so social and warm, Amisha so helpful and enthusiastic. While Dr. Sharma was punctual, objective in her advice never making decision or leaning for one chose or another. She always gave me the information and I decided my Birth Plan, which she followed step by step.
On my delivery date, she was at the hospital delivering another patience and she took the time to go in and say hi while I was way too early in the process. She was always available when she knew I had checked in and was by my side an hour before delivery time.
I recommend Dr. Sharma and her staff based on my experience. Thank you!

Simply the Best!
Even before I was a patient, I had an emergency with my Mirena IUD, and the staff took me in within 10 minutes of me calling. Dr Sharma took me in and recognized me having a Uterus infection, gave me the option of keeping the Mirena and taking the antibiotics or getting it out which would make the antibiotics work faster. Obviously I had her take it out, and even though she told me to wait for sex for two weeks or more; I actually did get pregnant, not really listening to her orders (not planned at all)…
After all the antibiotics were done and went for my my first ultrasound, she found the heartbeat and took photos.
We became very happy :)
We were planning on becoming pregnant in November or December but were blessed to know that we were pregnant now.
We had some concerns about the health of the fetus as the timeline between antibiotics and conception date were very close. We hoped and prayed for the best though.
At our 12 week ultrasound checkup we couldn’t find the heartbeat with the tummy microphone, the top ultrasound, and the inside ultrasound…
Dr Sharma was gentle explaining that there wasn’t a heartbeat.
Of course we were devastated, and you could read her eyes that this was one of her least favorite parts of her job — however she was soft and kind about everything and the steps to follow.
Within 2 days we were outpatient, and she was the doctor taking care of our procedure. We were very well taken care of at WH Out Patient Surgery Center. Even though I had concerns after the procedure, she was there even late evening (over phone) to answer my questions. I felt very informed and comforted, I am blessed to have such a caring Dr that I look forward to her delivering our next baby :) Thank you Dr Sharma!

Dr. Sharma is good doctor, i was with her form start of my pregnancy. She is reliable and only ask for necessary test during pregnancy. I remembered she was trying very hard to not to use vacuum assistance for my baby and asking me to push, however, she had to use vacuum because it was situations demand. She never disappointed us on anything. I would always recommend her to anyone.

Very good doctor. I recently changed my doctor to Dr Sharma. I went in for my annual, and she and her staff was very courteous and friendly. Dr Sharma was very professional and knew what she was doing. I came out of her office a happy camper. I highly recommend her.

We picked Dr. Mack out of proximity, and have had a good experience under his care. My wife was a high risk pregnancy and he was excellent at preparing for the worst. Luckily our second pregnancy was as normal as can be. My wife loves his support staff. They are really friendly and helpful.
He’s not the best at remembering patient’s without checking the patient’s records right before he enters the room. But with having as many patients as he probably has, how can you ding him for that? He’s a little dry on the delivery, but does excellent work.
He performed a C-​section on my wife (her second one) and pulled a bigger kid out of a smaller incision. That must take talent. We also paid out of pocket for him to circumcise my son because we trusted that he knows what he’s doing. It’ll be worth it. I wouldn’t trust a stranger to do that operation just because insurance told me to go somewhere else.
