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.

My visit went fine. I went for a second opinion after I went to him and now I have a appointment to run back to him. Found everything ok.

Dr.Desai is a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable, and so very calming surgeon. He did a Quadruple By-Pass in October. His caring, his calming affect when he speaks regarding the procedure and recovery made my recovery so much better than I thought it would be. He made sure I understood what I would be experiencing and to be patient because this recovery needed time and care. I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be grateful to him for saving my life.

I spent more tome with his ARNP than I did with him. Did not really feel that he took enough time with me. Scheduling was VERY difficult, and had to use my PCP to push the process along.

Dr. Desai operated on me 3 yrs ago. During each and every visit I made I found it to be an exretremly pleasent visit. Dr. Desai was propmt and PROFESSIONAL every time I saw or spoke with him. His staff were all great as well. I recently had to go back to him and found that NOTHING had changed over the past few yrs. I would RECOMMEND Dr. Desai and his staff to anyone. R. Fitzmaurice

Dr Desai is a total jerk . His arrogance is overwhelming . On my first visit I was left sitting in the examination room for 45 minutes before he showed up . There is not enough characters allowed for me to go over my complaint . His scheduling nurse Jen is just as bad . DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR !!!!!!!!
