Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unbelievably disfigured and in pain 24/7
Desai talked me into a Dbl Mastectomy w/Reconstruct Surgery. “He couldn’t make my breast look good with a Lumpectomy.” I told him, I am 60 & don’t want big breasts. Also, I lift a 125# special needs son daily. Yes, I’m over weight, but there is muscle in that belly fat. Cancer 20 yrs prior & radiation, my R breast was much smaller. Desai said he would remove my nipple on my R side then reduce my L breast to the size of my R breast. Expecting B cups, I GOT the biggest breasts 'I' have EVER had. Desai went on vacation NEGLECTING to leave any medical notes & no one told me. I also got a hysterectomy, the surgery disconnected my uterus. He did show up to my “Return to Reconstructive Surgery” I asked for smaller breasts, NO! Instead I got a dislocated right arm I had to do therapy for. I am disfigured and in pain 24/7 in both breasts, upper arms & my whole right side. I'd really hate to see what he would have done with a lumpectomy

I had breast surgery many years ago for cancer. About 15 years later, the implants leaked and my breasts had been repaired by another physician in another city. Dr. Desai repaired the damage beautifully, and corrected some other skin problems on my breast. I would highly recommend him. He is an excellent surgeon!

Buyer beware. I spent close to 50000 for surgeries after weight loss. Breast augmentation..one boob noticeably larger than the other. Tummy tuck...incision is slanted with dog ears on both sides. And worst of all the thigh lift is sloppy and pooches out at the top. Looks too bad to wear a swim suit to the beach. So disappointed.

Dr. Desai, Alana and all of the staff at this office are knowledgeable, compassionate and patient. It's evident the entire team shares a similar philosophy on patient care. Let's face it, finding people who will consistently go above and beyond at every level within an organization isn't always easy, however they've nailed it. I can't say enough glowing things about my experience and outcome related to treatment and surgeries (3 in total).
