Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2024
Dr. Desai's staff were helpful and responsive in obtaining patient data, scheduling the procedure and answering my questions. Didn't meet with Dr. Desai until the procedure start, but his demeanor was professional and calming. The intake and care team at the Digestive Health Center and the Anesthesiologist were all excellent.
