Sharma Sudarshan, MD

Dr. Sharma is the Doctor for gynecologic cancer issues. I was referred to him by my Gy/​Ob whom I trust completely (told me this is who he would send his wife to if ever needed) and he did not disappoint. He explained everything to my husband and I as to what he was going to do for my early stage endometrial cancer. His preferred method is to use the DaVinci and I would highly recommend it. I had my surgery on a Friday and was home on Saturday — -walking around, showering — and never taking a pain pill stronger than an Advil (and even that for one day). By Thursday of the following week I was cleared to drive… and except for being a bit sore in my abdoman (I had a radical hysterectomy) I was pretty good to go. Amazing!
He is a confident Doctor and that comes through — but not in a cocky way. He actually has a great sense of humor and put us at ease throughout the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

We believe Dr. Sharma and his caring staff has given our loved one a shot at many more years of life. She has stage 4 Ovarian cancer and is 87. The cancer is gone after 6 Chemo treatments and she will be followed closely from here on out.
Our patient was given steroids and anti nausea medicine to make the whole experience as tolerable as possible. We cannot thank Dr. Sharma and his staff enough — he did not write off an older woman and he treated her conservatively and with great care.
Our family member leaves this experience wanting to help and encourage other younger women through what can be a very scary process. I know she will devote herself to that.

Let me start by giving the reason for 1 star. It has nothing to do with Dr Sharma or his office staff, who were all absolutely wonderful! This is based solely on the billing service.
My visit was on April 21^st. I was required to pay a $ 40.00 co-​payment at the time of service. I had no issue with doing so because I know what my insurance benefits are and expected to have to pay this up front. Subsequently, I received an explanation of benefits from my insurance which indicated they paid my claim as a wellness visit (based on the diagnosis submitted by the billing service). Therefore, the claim was paid at 100% and I was responsible for nothing. I waited several weeks for a refund of the money I paid up front. On June 26^th, I still hadn’t received a refund and called the office. The office instructed me to call the billing service phone, which they provided. When I called the number, the woman answering only said «Hello». She didn’t answer the phone in any type of professional manner. I explained the situation and she told me she would look into it and send a refund if necessary.
As of today, no refund has been received. I called the billing phone again today. Once again, the phone is answered «Hello?». I again explained who I was and the issue with the refund. The woman questioned what my insurance card says regarding co-​pays because in her words «if it shows a copay on the card, you owe it». I attempted to explain that my insurance paid the claim at 100% and shows that I owe nothing. Again, she insisted that Blue Cross pays claims «funny» and that I would still owe the copay. I explained to her that I work for a medical office and this is what I do for a living. I process medical bills, claims, etc. I further stated what she is doing is wrong. She said she would look into it. I replied, «No, you told me that last month and did nothing.» She replied she didn’t have time. I told her that if I do not receive the refund that I am entitled to, I will file a complaint with my credit card company. I told her what she is doing is wrong and not acceptable. At that point she responded with a very snide tone and said she would have a check cut to me.
This is so completely WRONG! This doctor treats patients with cancer and his billing service is overcharging the patients. I pray that I will not have to return to this doctors office.
Again, this review is not directed at the care I received, because that was outstanding. This review is only based on the poor customer service I received from the doctor’s billing service.

Patient, kind and answers all your questions. He came highly recommended by my Dr. and I am very happy I chose him to perform my surgery.

Dr. Sharma is one of the best gynecologic oncologists in the Chicagoland area. Unfortunately, he’s not the type of doctor you want to go to very often (these issues are very, very scary), but he knows what he is doing and he is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met.
I was referred here by my gynecologist, whom I trust very much (and have reviewed highly). I had pre-​cancerous cells growing on my cervix and my gynecologist did not feel comfortable treating the problem; she wanted to send me to a specialist who does this for a living. Dr. Sharma’s entire practice is seeing patients and performing gynecologic surgeries (minor and major) — he knows what he’s doing.
I was worried to see him but he put my mind at ease. He explained everything that was going on, told me how my surgery would go and he was available during the three weeks leading up to my procedure to answer all of my 1000s of questions over the phone because I was so nervous. His office staff is also really nice and caring — if he wasn’t available to talk, his nurse would always call back and she was really caring.
My procedure was a complete success. He walked me through everything on the day of the surgery and even held my hand when I was scared of general anesthesia. I was completely done in about an hour and he got rid of all the pre-​cancerous cells on my cervix. Dr. Sharma really is a great doctor and he knows exactly what he is doing.
If you ever have any gynecologic issues (or need a second opinion), I highly, highly recommend Dr. Sharma.
