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.

Kind, caring and personable team!
This medical team takes time with their clients to discuss and determine the best plan of treatment. Laura was extremely helpful in breaking down the information so that I fully understood the issue. They make you feel very comfortable and they are knowledgeable.

Easily accessible
Dr. Desai is always welcoming and put one at ease. Today I was in for an injection for the pain in my right hip. THis is a repeat procedure. First time I was give lots of detail on what he was going to do and what the end results can be. So since I had that info already the visit was very quick. The numbing injection is the worst part. Quick and the 2nd injection was done and immediate relief.

Too busy to make appointments.
Only after I called them to confirm the appointment the day before they said they had to move my appointment 4 hours back. When I got there they said the Doctor couldn't see me for "...at least another 1.5 hours." The reception room was packed. Another patient got mad a left and said he was never coming back. I got a referral to see a doctor that can show up for their their appointments.
