Patient Reviews
Jan 29, 2021
Dr Nakua Desai is the best Doctor I have ever seen. She is very caring and thorough. She goes above and beyond when it comes to devoting her time to her patients and is diligent with follow up care. She listens and takes the time to discuss treatment options at length. I feel fortunate to have Dr Desai as my Primary Care Doctor. Having been a Nurse for 3+ decades I have had the privilege of working with some good Doctors but I consider Dr Desai as one of the Best. I highly recommend her.
