    Dr. Kothary has been my primary doctor for a few years and he is thorough in explaining my lab results. The office staff is pleasant.

In my third visit with her, today, I had to literally walk out and won't be back! I asked other staff if she was just having a bad day. So consistently condescending but today she was actually rude. I asked about side effects of a particular drug she stated no one had ever complained to her before and dismissed my question. Then when I asked her to clarify something she got irritated with me and started with more condescension. If you don't agree with her she will belittle you into thinking you're the one that's wrong rather than explaining like most doctors! No thanks! Update: 04/15/26 - I spoke with Dr Gilli on the phone and it's seems they are somewhat flippant and unapologetic in their attitude towards the situation. I don't feel comfortable with this response that she "always" treats patients with respect after I conveyed the opposite in a professional manner over the phone. This was damage control gone wrong imo. Black box warnings are serious and it's too bad this Dr. doesn't care to make any changes as she is a 25 year employees with the company. He's got her back regardless. I appreciate the call back but it's clear his attitude is just like hers. They don't care.

    Dr. Campbell has been my primary care doctor for over 20 years. He has gotten me through many…read morehealth issues, small and major. My husband also started seeing him 10 years ago as well as other friends we have referred. Dr. Campbell is thorough and knowledgeable and does a great job with senior citizens like us. He does not hesitate to refer us to specialists if the need arises. He got me to a hematologist, a rheumatologist, pain management, orthopedist, and mental health. He is really good about checking on lab work and meds. I don't like going to the doctor, but from day one I have been comfortable keeping my appointments with him. I am glad he hasn't retired yet! Centric is now located in a beautiful new building on Bolthouse road. The medical assistants are sweet gals who help in a variety of ways.

He is intelligent, has years of experience and really listens to a patient's concerns. If there should be a need for a referral, he and his staff work quickly to ensure the patient's concerns are addressed appropriately and in a timely manner. My husband has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Some barriers occurred and as soon as Dr. Campbell discovered our issues, he reassured us he would take responsibility to assist with the issues - and he did just that. He went above and beyond his duty to help in our time of need. He is compassionate, kind, and also has a great support staff. A doctor who cares! Marian P.

I look forward to seeing her because she genuinely cares about the work she does with me as her patient. She is thoughtful, and listens to my concerns and addresses my healthcare needs.

I have been with her for over 8 years and she is a doctor who listens, addresses concerns, and puts patient care at the center of her practice. She is clear with options and risks with medications, and is clear with follow up instructions. She is a very professional, kind, and caring doctor. I am always able to get into see her in a reasonable time and have referred other friends to her who have also told me how much they like that they have a doctor who listens. Dr. Sharma has given me referrals as needed over the years to specialists who have also been very helpful in addressing other medical needs that have come up with illnesses, injuries, and required testing that is needed with aging. One of the best things about this practice is that you can get your bloodwork done in house - so it's nice to have a morning appointment, come to the appointment fasting, and get your bloodwork done right away- no other appointments or trips to a lab needed! Her office staff is very nice and helpful. They are efficient with paperwork needs and have always been professional and friendly. If you are looking for a primary care physician, Dr. Sharma might be your great fit!
