Dr. Annu G. Sharma, M.D. 15785 Laguna Canyon Road, Irvine, CA 92618

"My husband and I met with Dr. Sharma when I was pregnant and she seemed too busy and a bit annoyed that we wanted to meet her and learn about her practice. When I had my son, she never came to the hospital. I had never met the doctor who was on call for her to perform my son’s circumcision and he was not friendly or warm, either. He came to get my son moments after I’d met him (I had a c—section and had been under general anesthesia) and seemed annoyed that I was overwhelmed (my room was full of doctors and nurses). When we had our first newborn appointment, my husband was not allowed to join me as it was late 2021. I was not able to breastfeed as my son refused to stay latched and I expressed my feelings of guilt, concern, and frustration. I was barely holding back tears through the appointment. She quite literally told me that if I “were on a desert island, [I’d] find a way” to make sure my son breastfed. I had postpartum depression and completely blamed myself. She certainly seemed to as well. (Found out at my son’s 1st dentist appointment that he has a significant tongue tie so I feel somewhat vindicated.) As soon as my son was 1 month and my insurance allowed me to, I left and got a new pediatrician. Wish I’d trusted my initial instincts of feeling unwelcome."

"Since day one the office and the pediatrician Dr. Annu gave me a bad feeling but I kept my head up and kept ignoring their incompetence, rude attitude, ignorance, unprofessionalism until my daughter got sick and the doctor refused to take her because who knows what else more important than a sick child she had to do. This office is not looking to help you as a patient but to take your money! Stay away from this incompetent office if you do not want to end up at the ER!!!!"

"Excellent physician! Dr. Sharma is detailed oriented, actively listens to the patient and performs clinical work up studies to confirm diagnosis. I left her office today feeling confident that I was in the right hands. I would highly recommend this physician."

"The office called me and asked if I had told my pharmacy to request refills for my son's inhaler. After replying yes to her she told me that we need to have a visit with the doctor first before saying yes to the refills. I agreed and asked if they can do a one time approval since my son is completely out of inhaler. She said I have to fill out a form that she will be sending me and never did. It's Friday, the office is closed and my son doesn't have his inhaler. Right on!"

"She's the first pediatrician who cares both mentally and physically about my daughter's health, she's always checking up on her and making sure she is alright. She is patient and kind, I recommend going to her."
