Sharonlin Bhardwaj, M.D.
"Being a part of a patient's cancer care journey brings me closer to what it is to be human - to be able to connect with others across all differences and provide them with hope and empathy." - Sharonlin Bhardwaj, M.D.
Medical oncologist Sharonlin Bhardwaj, M.D., treasures the bonds she forms with breast cancer patients. She is eager to provide them and their families with the information and solace they need to form a structured and strong foundation of care during a difficult journey.
Dr. Bhardwaj’s approach to treatment focuses on collaboration, so patients get the full benefit of multidisciplinary team-based care. Prior to her fellowship training in oncology-hematology, she served as an assistant clinical professor of hospital medicine at New York University.
