Dr Sharma is very personable, easy to interact with and caring. He provides options based on his thorough ability to fully understand personal concerns and issues. I have never felt rushed or that my questions were not fully understood.

After being a patient for 10+ years, I will follow him wherever he practices! He's been an astounding help to me and my several conditions. He is very understanding, efficient with time, can speak simply or professionally on the medical side which makes our conversations riveting, uplifting and meaningful. I recommend him to anyone I can and can't thank him enough for being my all time favorite medical professional. He actually listens to any concern and provides SO many options. He's a rarity and I'm beyond grateful to have found him when I did, he changed my life for the better and inspires me to continue my career in medicine. 10000/10 recommend!!

He is an excellent Dr who knows me well and I know him and we have a bond of trust. I was his 2nd patient years ago when he first started and have been with him for close to two decades. I have already recommended a friend of mine to the Dr. and he will be going in for his first appoint soon and I know that he will get the same great care that I get. ;)

Gautam Sharma, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
