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 an excellent doctor who listens well

Everything went well, except, I haven't received refills on any of my medications In which I'm practically almost running out of ,and at least one needs to be approved by my insurance before it can be refilled! I also haven't received any lab orders to check my liver enzymes. I'm still waiting and wondering what's going on , this has never happened before!!

Spoke on my level. Presented his opinions in a professional manner. Was not condescending. I felt more confident with his treatment decisions than with the previous GI physician I had.
