Anil was inspired to become a doctor at the age of 11 by his maternal grandfather who was the kindest person he has known. He has undergone an extensive education and training programme (both in the UK and NZ) and has been in medical practice in New Zealand for over 24 years. 

His main areas of expertise are in the holistic management of pelvic pain, endometriosis, heavy or abnormal periods and urogynaecology (prolapse and bladder problems). He undertakes surgery for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, prolapse and urinary incontinence. He undertakes keyhole surgery (hysteroscopy and laparoscopy) including laparoscopic hysterectomy and laparoscopic myomectomy (fibroids). He also undertakes Novasure endometrial ablation having the largest experience of this in New Zealand.

He consults at Ascot Central next door to Ascot Hospital and also at 26 Bracken Ave (Takapuna visiting clinic).

He specialised in Gynaecology (and for many years Obstetrics), drawn initially to women's health because of the diversity of the speciality which allows for personable interaction and surgery where needed. The joy and adrenaline of childbirth and the skills to be able to make a difference in the lives of new parents was a major draw.

Anil has focussed on Gynaecology for many years, and sadly no longer provides maternity care. During his career, he had delivered around 5000 babies. He was awarded membership of both the UK and Australian & New Zealand Royal Colleges of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists after passing both higher Specialist exams. He also has a diploma in medical law where the main focus was on ethics and patient rights. 

He also gives many postgraduate lectures to family doctors and nurses about his specialty. Anil also enjoyed being the Women's Health Expert for TVNZ Good Morning and has written widely for a number of magazines about women's health issues. 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 maintenance of high standards of practice. He is married to a GP, Rachel and has 3 daughters and a much-loved miniature Schnauzer Luis. His spare time is spent with the family and in the great NZ outdoors.

It always had to be New Zealand for him since his first 'OE' (Wellington Women's Hospital 1993). Go Aotearoa NZ!

    • 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.

    • If you are looking for a specialist who will listen to you and involve you completely in the treatment plan then Anil is your man. After several very successful years under his care I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
