Patient Reviews
Feb 12, 2021
My regular doctor was not available and Dr. Desai agreed to see me with an urgent matter. She took the time to review my chart prior to my visit, making herself familiar with the issue at hand, and had a plan of action ready. My wait time was minimal. Her staff was friendly and competent. Her office very clean. Excellent experience- highly recommend her!

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
