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 is a very thorough and caring Dermatologist. She answered all my questions.

She is wonderful
Her cheerful yet knowledgeable disposition. I got all my questions and concerns answered concerning my full body check. She did not try to push unneeded products or procedures . She spent the right amount of time with me. Instructed me on what I needed to do for an itchy spot I had on my neck. I would highly recommend her.

Absolutely wonderful
I saw Dr Desi for a general skin check, and found her to be kind, professional, and very thorough. As she looked at my skin she told me what she was seeing, and I take appreciated being kept in the loop regarding what she was finding. My visit was quick, and everyone at the office was kind and professional.

Way above average. Highly recommend
If you have a complicated skin condition that makes you feel self-conscious, it's important to find the right folks. Staff at every step of my first appointment were professional, competent, and really friendly. Dr. Desai seems extremely knowledgeable and her communication was excellent. The office is clean and I noted that the other patients were also greeted warmly, all of our questions were answered quickly and the entire process and patient experience seems very efficient.

Caring and Professional
I recently had an exceptional experience at U.S. Dermatology Partners in Fairfax, Virginia, with Dr. Kavya Desai. I was seen promptly at my scheduled time, and Dr. Desai's professionalism and thoroughness were evident throughout the visit. She took the time to explain each step of my annual exam in layman's terms, ensuring I understood her observations. Additionally, her assistant, Antonella, was exceptionally kind and caring, making the entire appointment comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Desai and U.S. Dermatology Partners to new clients seeking top-notch dermatological care.

Yearly check up
This was the most thorough checkup I've had in long time. I left confidant with the information. When I schedule my next exam I will change my schedule to match Dr. Desai's.

Great Communication, Welcoming Presence
Dr. Desai was thorough, communicated what she was doing (and why), and listened to my concerns. She talked me through medication and treatment options, making me feel part of the process. The office staff were competent and helpful, and the nurse, Lexi, did a great job getting all my information without making it feel rushed.A great experience.

A Superb Doctor
Dr. Desai really knows what she’s doing. She is clinically exceptional with a staff to match. From the moment you walk through the door, you know that this is an exceptionally professional practice. Dr. Desai is expert in her diagnosis and equally knowledgeable in prescribing the right medication. I’m so glad that I chose her as my dermatologist.
