Patient Reviews
Oct 20, 2022
My husband's experience with Dr. Desai has been good. She is very pleasant and easy to talk to, she answers questions, and she does not keep patients waiting long for office visits. However, one concern and being able to reach her medical assistant, who I have never been able to reach by telephone and who seldom returns phone calls.
