About Dr Anil Sharma

Anil is a Specialist Surgical Gynaecologist and in Auckland. His expertise lies in the management of women's health problems.


Anil was brought up in London and educated in England. After his medical and surgical degrees he specialised in OBGYN with Memberships and then Fellowships of the UK and Aus / NZ Royal Colleges of OBGYN.

He moved to NZ permanently in 2001. 

Anil thoroughly enjoys meeting and interacting with people. He is always keen to involve patients in their healthcare. He has focussed on Gynaecology for many years and sadly no longer undertakes maternity care. In his career, he has helped mums-to-be deliver over 5000 babies.

He has a keen interest in ethical practise and respect for patient's rights. He undertook a diploma in medical law at Cardiff University and is often asked to provide medico-legal opinions. He updates his practice and undertakes the Continuing Medical Education Programme (and certification) of the Royal ANZ College. He also gives postgraduate lectures to family doctors and nurses about Gynaecology and writes frequently for medical magazines and a research journal. Anil also enjoyed being the Women's Health Expert for TVNZ Good Morning and has written widely for a number of popular magazines.

Anil was honoured to be made a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (London) in 2008. This is conferred after sustained contributions to the vocation and the maintenance of high standards of practice.

He is married to a GP, Rachel and has three teenage daughters and a much-loved miniature Schnauzer Luis . His spare time is spent with the family and in the great NZ outdoors. He loves comedy, classic cars, modern design and architecture.

He is delighted that the practice is managed by Anne Whineray who is also a trained nurse and adept at all aspects of gynae health care management. We believe in kind empathic care. Anil's life experiences and training in medical practice have included Vascular Surgery, Urology, Renal medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Accident and Emergency, Elder Health, Orthopaedic Surgery, Psychiatry and of course the vast majority of it in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.  

Anil has considerable surgical experience (30 years and counting) and performs a wide range of procedures having undertaken a traditional (and long) training programme in the UK (Leicester, Sheffield, Bath, Bristol, Poole, London, Taunton, Wrexham, Newport, Cardiff) and NZ (Wellington, Hamilton, Palmerston North).

  • Do you go off your gut feeling? I do, and I had to push my way through the health system to get answers and failed along the way. Until I met Dr. Sharma and all my issues made sense. A very clear, focused, caring Doctor/ Surgeon that listens and explains very clearly on what is the best outcome is for your health issue. I had a hysterectomy, I'm 50 and without his skill and experience I would have never recovered from my surgery so quickly. From pre-surgery, recovery, home recovery to complete recovery I was guided by Dr. Sharma and his nurse to allow for the best result possible from a surgery that I feared would change my life forever. Well it did and for the better! I'm 6 weeks post surgery back to my active life, feeling well and happy. I have much to be grateful for and so will you. Oh, and even though scars are part of your life story you may be concerned of those, Dr. Sharma considers those too and they are tiny! I know and have seen other post surgery clients who used someone else and the scars are very different to mine, much worse. A bit silly to focus on something so minute since good health means everything no matter the scar it leaves behind. Thank you Dr. Sharma

  • Anil is such a caring, kind and support person. I loved his sense of humour and his easy to talk to personality. I would highly recommend Anil to anyone needing to seek specialist help. Thank you for your excellent pre and post op care Anil.

  • Dr Sharma is an outstanding practitioner. He is clearly well-versed in the area of Gynaecology and can discuss with you the pros and cons around even the newest advances in the field to help you make an informed choice. He also takes the time to ensure that you fully understand what lies ahead. Rest assured, you are in safe hands.

  • Dr Anil Sharma and Ann are an amazing team! (apologies for writing this post late - was meant to write this 7 months ago after my surgery!)

    I received the best care and was very impressed with Dr Anil's professionalism and attitude. It makes a huge difference when someone like him believes you have endometriosis when other doctors don't. Because of his mannerisms and extensive knowledge, he has inspired me to learn more about women's health and take my education to a much higher level. Big massive thank you! God bless xx

  • I cannot thank Dr Sharma and Anne enough for their kind, compassionate and life-saving care. Anne went out of her way to find me an appointment when I was in a bind. Dr Sharma was amazing from the get-go, listened to my concerns, thoroughly explained my situation and immediately provided me with top notch medical care. I will forever be grateful.

  • What a blessing it was to have Dr Sharma as my surgeon recently for pelvic prolapse repair surgery. He explained the procedure very clearly, and though I was nervous and apprehensive. with his caring nature and humour, plus knowledge and experience, I felt safe in his hands. Thank you Anil, you are number One!!
