Rajesh K. Sharma
MD

Full Bio

 
 

As a physician Board Certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology for
Anesthesiology and Pain Management, I have completed residencies in Internal
Medicine and Anesthesiology and as well as a fellowship in Interventional Pain
Management.

My training began in New Jersey, where I completed a full residency in Internal
Medicine at the Jersey Shore University Medical Center. That experience allowed
a deep understanding of the complexities of the human condition that I would
face throughout my career.

While at the famed Cook County Hospital in Chicago, I was faced with the
challenges of a busy, exciting operating room. Trauma, complex cases, and the
opportunity to train with a world class health care team helped shape the type
of physician I am today. I completed my fellowship there taking care of patients
from all walks of life and circumstances, under very challenging conditions. I
learned dedication, resilience, and perseverance.
