I saw Dr. Sarkar just recently, and I am very pleased with the experience I had. He displayed doctor-patient relationship (very personable), and was very friendly showing concern about my well-being. Dr. Sarkar seems to be very experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He listens to what I have to say. He respects me as a person and I'm not just another number. He tests for everything until he funds the root cause of the issue. He has my best interests in mind. He us friendly and explains things clearly so you can better understand.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Sorry he is leaving Heritage Family. Getting through to anyone in this office is impossible. I was on hold for 45 minutes before I hung up, one example. It's a minimum of 20 minutes or more. Very poor. Very poor representation of health care.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
They got me in quickly and answered all of my questions. The doctor talked a little too fast when he was explaining his plan of action for my future but I was able to follow along. Some other patients might not be able too. (I can see that this is his passion and his knowledge is impeccable when he discussed things with me - so I’m sure that’s where the fast talking comes into play as well as being busy) He and his staff were extremely kind and attentive. I am very pleased with my first appointment.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Took over an hour to be seen from my scheduled appointment. Didn’t know or bother to check My medical history had to ask me why I was taking certain medications. He was supposed to be my replacement Dr after mine had retired and come to find out he is leaving as well. He told me to schedule another appointment in 6 months but was told I can’t schedule because they don’t know what Dr they will have and to call in a few months to set that appointment. Will be looking for a new Dr that I can see consistently

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
The wait time is awfully long. Never been seen before an hour. The patient’s time has values too. If each appointment takes longer than they schedule why waste our time like this?

The doctor is great. But I have Chronic issues with my Asthma. I have been waiting over a week for them to fix an error on the prescription and it still isn’t fixed.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I really like Dr. Sarkur. What makes Dr. Sarkar and his staff special, is that they are very professional. They understand multiple serious health issues. I am extremely impressed with their communication skills and ability to get quick referrals. While other doctors have addressed my health issues, I feel it took much longer and with much less effective communication. I have life goals that necessitate timely medical care. I am extremely grateful that Dr. Sarkar and his team are taking me seriously and getting me the help I need. Thank you!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I would tell me family and friends that the office itself has always been a pleasant place for me and for the last 10 year's give it take my service has been phenomenal with Dr. Boggess. He listened and valued my health concerns. Upon his retiring and transitioning to Dr. Sarkar, it hasn't been the worst until my most recent appointment on [removed appointment date for privacy]. He was unprofessional, he treated me like trash, he yelled at me numerous times and never even consulted with me about my ultrasound results. [Removed potentially libelous portion of comment]. I am not the first I'm sure he's treated this way, just the first to report! He's a disgrace

This was my first visit with Dr. Sarkar. He listened to what I said and told me of a similar experience he had to mine. It made me feel he understood my problem. He agreed with my requests and ordered appropriate medication. His scribe was not as familiar with his duties as the previous scribe but he managed with help from Dr. Sarkar. Overall, it was a pleasant visit.
