Patient Comments
Dr. Desai is first rate.
Dr. Desai is AMAZING! He is caring, professional but down to earth. He allows me to be part of my health plan & the decisions moving forward, he explains everything thoroughly, he adds humor, he definitely connects by asking how I'm doing in general, inquires about what I'm up to and this past appointment he sensed something else was wrong & it had to do with a future test. He explained what the test was, what would happen & he definitely made me feel that I could handle it. I would highly recommend & do, Dr Desai. Thanks Dr Desai!
Very informative. Explained to me the treatment approach accordingly.
Dr. Desai is an excellent doctor!
