About Me

This approach includes both interventional and non-interventional therapies that consider a wide range of treatment options such as physical therapy, alternative treatments and procedures.
She has practiced in Manhattan for over 10 years in both academic and private practice settings. She has presented at various conferences such as American Pain Society and North American Neuromodulation Society.
She is trained in and has experience with interventional therapies including but not limited to sacroiliac joint injections, interlaminar, transforaminal and caudal epidural steroid injections, intra-articular facet joint injections, peripheral Joint injections, medial branch blocks and radiofrequency ablation.
Dr. Sharma completed her Interventional Pain Management fellowship at Louisiana State University in New Orleans. She completed her residency in Family Medicine from The University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
The state of Florida requires out-of-state professionals who are registered to provide telehealth services to display a hyperlink to the Florida Department of Health telehealth web page. This allows Florida patients who are receiving medical care by telehealth to confirm the provider’s licensure and Florida registration.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Dr Kavita Sharma had ALWAYS made me feel like a priority. She truly cares about my health and I'm confident in saying her number one goal is getting me to feel better. A+
Dr Sharma was incredible. [...] Most importantly she actually cared about my problem and wanted me to improve. She was invested in my health!
I have known Dr. Sharma for almost 10 years now. I started my back injury journey with her, and I am so happy she is now at Mt Sinai which makes things a lot easier for me. Once you find a Dr you love, you stick with them! She remembered my entire history and I left the office with a solution moving forward.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Sharma has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
