Patient Reviews
Jun 16, 2017
Dr. Chirag S. Desai, i was very concerned today when Erin Meslar called and indicated there was a decision made to not proceed with the Pancreatic Islet cell transplant procedure i had been planning with your staff. I have followed every direction given by the team and was excited to finally get my life back without the chronic pain and nausea. Is the sugery still a solution for me if i can continue to improve my BMI? Respectfully, Rickey Grant
