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.

Where was the doctor? I was treated for squamous cell carcinoma. It infected. The PA and radiologist did everything right, but couldn't help me. I had to go to another doctor, have surgery and 14 months of treatment before I was finally healed. I NEVER saw or heard from a doctor while I was a patient at this clinic.

Too Cheap to Hire Doctors!
He bought out the practice of aging, reputable, experienced dermatologist Alan Menter in Dallas. After Dr. Menter finally retired, there was one doctor practicing there. It took Dr. Desai forever to get that doctor a PA. That doctor left. The office is staffed only with a PA, and Dr. Menter had very complicated patients.I left.

EX PATIENT
I didn't see Dr. Desai. Saw his PA Steven Fowler in the Corpus Christi office. Office personal were just OK. Office was a dump! Exam was barely ok. 8 weeks later they STILL have not filed with my insurance ! I've called a 12 times and all they do is give me the run around! NEVER GO HERE!!!!

Following my recent surgery on my leg, I suffered from excessive bleeding twice. After the second instance, I required additional stitching, from another doctor, to stop the bleeding. Dr. Desai never followed up with me after the bleeding, nor was he present as the nurses tried to control it.

Be very careful with the billing statements. The practice has a history of over billing patients. For each visit, they collect upfront the co-pay amount for a specialist. After that they send you a bill and ask you to pay the co-pay amount once again which is fraudulent. It happened for each of the last two visits. This is unacceptable ! They really need to fix this billing issue.

It was good because the doctor prescribed me a topic cream. I used it for three days and the red spots disappeared. First, I explained everything to his nursery. Then, doctor saw me for 5 minutes.
