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.

This is the absolute worst doctors office I have ever experienced. I haven't seen Dr Desai in months. Each appt can only be made with a nurse practitioner. In the past, when I was able to see Dr Desai, it's been rushed. I never felt listened to at all. I hd an appointment set up 6wks in advance, received no phone call canceling the appt and was completely forgotten about. I need referrals to see specialist, specifically cardiologist and pulmonologist. It takes months to get these referrals. MONTHS THE! The office staff are horrendous. Do NOT go to this doctor.

Would not recommend this office. Dr Desai is kind but her staff are horrible. I feel that she has too many patients that her office is unorganized and have poor follow up protocol with patients. Her office does not treat me as if I am important and I have to follow up on each referral or they do not. Highly disappointed I chose her as my primary.

Dr.Desai is great, woman at the results line was extremely rude. When you call the office they put you on hold before you can even speak - sometimes this makes your wait even longer because once they answer you need to be transferred and the same thing happens when the next extension is answered. Be prepared for long waits on hold. Staff seemed confused today when I called for a referral.
