Patient Reviews
Oct 22, 2019
Dr. Desa saw my mom for abnormal EKGs. He was very kind and understanding. He answered each an every question as if it was the most important thing in the world and never once acted as if it was the dumbest thing he had ever heard. He was very patient with us and understood exactly how worried we were. I highly recommend this doctor.
