Dr Sarkar is new to me as my Dr, Dr Bhrama retired after taking very good care of me for a very long time so I think I will like Dr Sarkar too but time will tell.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Sarkar is an amazing doctor. I'm a former [OCCUPATION], and I can say that with confidence. Dr. Sarkar recently shared that he is leaving MyMichigan. I was saddened, because I finally felt I found a doctor that listened to me and took appropriate action. While I'm not perfect, I think my health goals have been moving in a positive direction because of Dr. Sarkar. I will miss his professionalism and care.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Not to friendly, never met the man before and he rushed into the room never introduced himself so I just assumed it was the doctor. Been going there for 20+ years first bad experience. As I was making my next appointment the receptionist said he was leaving my thought was GOOD!

Office is going thru a change. Took close to an hour before Dr made it to my room. Was ready to walk out. Tell the staff to reschedule and return the charge for my visit. No one called me a told me what my A1C ready was after the blood work was done.

he's an amazing Dr who understands what I deal with daily. He works hard to find ways to help me live without pain daily. He listens to me fully, understands what I suffer from, and is an amazing person.
Oct 22, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I love Dr Sarvar but his assistants are incompetent and never return phone calls or follow-ups that they were supposed to so I have to continuously call and leave messages to no avail because nothing ever gets done until I go in for my next appointment and it starts all over again. The receptionist in the assistance pass the buck and don't take responsibility for anything they just blame the doctor for everything which is unacceptable in my opinion

The doctor was great. The office itself seems to be a little disoriented. I think because doctors are coming. Doctors are going kind of put a strain on them at Heritage family physicians.
Oct 3, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Sakar is an excellent Dr. but the staff at the front desk,and whoever runs the online stuff is very incompentant. I needed labs before appt. They never ever gave me labs. The ma was actually talking [removed profanity] about Dr Sakar behind his back. They are all at the front desk gossiping and not helping people. Too busy worried about other peoples business. I do not normally write bad reviews but the last time was too much. It’s disrespectful
Oct 2, 2025

I have had just one appointment with Dr. Sarkar, but everything seems to be fine now.
