Very knowledgeable [...].

Very good experience

March 31, 2021

Dr. Desai is an exemplary physician

March 16, 2021

Perhaps *Dr. Desai was just having an off day, we are all only human after all, but he seemed very dismissive and a little patronizing. He was nice and obviously well-educated, but he would not explain why I was having certain issues or what I might do to treat such issues. [...] Huge waste of a second opinion appointment.

I enjoyed my conversation with Dr. Desai

August 01, 2020

Doctor was very patient and understanding. He did not rush me and he listened to me. He seemed genuinely concerned.

July 28, 2020

Easily the best new patient appointment I have experienced with a specialist. He treated me with respect and concern and also listened to me while working hard to get the information he needed to see what might be causing my symptoms. I have never had a specialist treat me like a person so that was just very refreshing.

Call was on time and the MD answered all of my questions.
