Patient Reviews
Apr 25, 2024
Dr. Desai has performed 2 colonoscopies on me, most recently at the Digestive Health Center of Thousand Oaks. For what is typically not a pleasant experience for most, I was pleased, and impressed with the care that I received. His staff were both helpful and responsive, his health care team were very thorough and reassuring…and for Doctor Desai himself, he impressed me with his skill and knowledge, his thoroughness, and his caring demeanor, and professionalism.I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent Gastroenterologist in the Thousand Oaks area!
