"He actually takes time to sit down and listen & spend time with you. He’s easy to talk to and explains diagnosis in terms that are easy to understand."

— Healthgrades review for Dr. J Reed Cooper

"Avoid this office if you are concerned about COVID transmission. Few staff wearing masks... I didn't feel safe, asked for a refund of my copay and left."

— WebMD review for Dr. Sunil Sharma

"He tells you to call for results but he doesn’t have them. You have to track him down and he could care less if you live or die."
