Patient Reviews
Feb 05, 2023
Having had retina problems in the past I need to be checked a couple times a year. Dr. Desai put my mind at ease that my eyes are healthy and strong. He is also very open to listening to my questions and answering them. I don't feel rushed. I can call the office anytime I am worried about my eyes. The Retina Group of Washington is there when I need them. The staff is friendly and helpful. Sometimes I may have to wait but to have the peace of mind that my eyes are safe is worth it.
