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.
Dr. Desai actually listens to what is wrong and tries to give a solution to the problem. He is very personable and doesn't make you feel like just a chart or a paycheck.

While the doctor is great, the office staff is incompetent, at best. They couldn't find my paperwork, lost my information more than once, and did not properly file with my insurance. They didn't even know why I was there. If you can get past their ineptness, Dr. Desai is a good doctor. He listens carefully and will not push to take steps that aren't necessary just so he can cut on you or make more money.

I can't say it all, but by far I love the staff always very nice, Dr Desai is so caring, i love the fact he talks to you ask how everything going on with me, informs you on the procedures before and after its done, the staff have called after my procedure to see if I'm okay I've been telling my family how compassionate everyone treats me

First time at Dr. Desai's office and was very happy with the level of professionalism from the minute I walked in. Everyone was very welcoming, was back to my room very quickly. Dr. Desai took his time talking thru my symptoms and also the procedure in depth to make sure I was comfortable. Have passed his information along to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Honestly, I can't say enough on how Dr. Desai cares for me as a patient. His manners, concerns are genuine, makes excellent recommendations which lead to successful surgery and followup care fabulous. He has been treating me now for almost 2 years has helped beyond compare. Seriously strongly recommend Dr. Desai. With the recent change in office manager to Brett, the issues of the past are gone.
