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.

I have been seeing Dr. Desai for the past year and she has helped me tremendously. I have suffered for such a long time with my heart issues and could not get any relief. But Dr. Desai really took the time out to listen to me and helped me with my condition. I am feeling so much better now after Dr. Desai started treating me. The entire staff at healing hearts has been wonderful.

Terrible staff
Desai seems good, but my stress test appt keeps getting cancelled. Staff is rude and/or unresponsive. 1st appt was rescheduled when I called the day before to find out ins pre-qual wasn't done. Their benefits person said the ins hadn't responded, but it was never sent to my ins co. Had to wait several wks for another appt time. Left 3 messages with benefits adm; never received a call back. Right before my second appt got a call cancelling my appt bc the technician wasn't going to be there. No appt available till wks later. Just got a call that they have to reschedule, again, due to no technician. I called back & before I said anything, a lady answered the phone with a rude hello. I asked her her name and in a rude, almost inaudible tone said Ivanessa and I said, Hi Vanessa. She didn't say, my name is actually Ivanessa, she just kept rudely repeating Ivanessa. When I explained the issues I was having, she said just have the new dr send a request for your records. Bad attitude!

Wonderful cardiologist
Dr. Desai is kind, empathetic and very reasonable. Listens to your concerns and offers management options to fit your needs. Didn’t take long to get in for a new patient appointment and I loved seeing a female physician. If you need a great cardiologist especially who has an interest in women’s heart conditions and preventative cardiology, I recommend Dr Desai.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Desai! She has never not listened to me and any concern I have had. She is also so kind and patient. I do not know what I would do if I did not have her as my Cardiologist. Her staff is amazing as well. They always welcome me with smiles. I LOVE THEM ALL! My life is in their hands, and they treat me with such care!!! I can't imagine being any where else.

R. Glasco – Nov 15, 2020

My father was brought in with a complex Bradycardia issue that was complicated by dementia. Dr. Desai based serious life altering treatment decisions on two visits in a 8 day period that lasted less than 5 minutes and contradicting reports from the ever changing list of nurses (with good intentions) who attended to him. When we attempted to clarify my father's progress (both neurological and heart related) she was condescending and clearly put out by our questions and down right rude to my mother. We decided to take our father him where he died peacefully. While Dr. Desai may not have been able to prevent this outcome, we were extremely disappointed by her lack of concern, attention and respect given to our family during this confusing and difficult time. Had she taken the time to correctly assess his issue we may have had other options in his care to prolong our time with him. I would not wish this doctor on any family in a life or death situation with a family member.
