Dr. Desai is the best neurologist I've ever had by far. He never makes me feel rushed and always takes the time to complete a thorough exam and answer any questions I have.

June 01, 2019

the physician is very detailed with neurological tests, and results of mri . however he had no type of "bed side manner", no compassion for myself as the patient . i asked the same question if the MS symptoms i was having for the last month was a "flare up" he did not answer that question . the only thing he was concerned about was ordering several additional tests. every time i spoke, he interrupted and cut off my sentence .

we were very concerned about a new provider not listening unfortunately it seems our concerns were founded. I KNOW this disease better than any physician and over the years with the help of [...] found what works best for me.
