Patient Reviews
Nov 12, 2024
I have plenty of positive things to say regarding Dr Desai but I will keep it short. I dealt with numerous seemingly never ending eye infections from age 7 - 16 I saw at least a dozen doctors in New York who did not seem to ever be able to help me. After moving to FL, I decided to see Dr. Desai. Right away, he explained my condition and its cause, then developed a treatment plan. For the first time, I started seeing real improvement after years of thinking there was no solution. My previous doctors had told me at a young age that, due to corneal scarring, I would 'never be able to see properly again.'I dealt with horrible light sensitivity, infections, burning, etc in my daily life for so long until I met Dr Desai. He then performed two successful cornea transplants for me and I have had wonderful vision ever since. I am immensely grateful for him and the work and effort he has given to me.Him & his team have been amazing! :)
