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.

Respect and trust
Dr Desai was chosen for me when my doctor moved away. So I didn’t know her and was unsure. And now, I wouldn’t trade her! Dr Desai actually listens and cares. She takes her time with you and is open to any questions you have. She actually motivates me to take better care of myself. She explains things rather than just giving orders. She is super smart, knowledgable and puts you at ease. And she has heart. As a nurse, I can’t say that about a lot of doctors. Dr Desai is just amazing!

She is intelligent and I trust her decision, however her and her staff are generally unwilling to help sign important papers regarding medical records for jobs and school. Better start a year in advance if you actually want papers signed because her staff fail to pass on the message to her in which case you will be chastised by all faculty for their failures.

Dr. Roohi Desai (there are two Dr. Desai's at St. Anthony SW) has been my PCP for a few years now and I have been satisfied every time I've visited her. She is very friendly and caring and listens to patients. She's everything I could want in a physician (to top it off, she's cute).
