Patient Reviews
Nov 16, 2016
36 Years ago Dr Desai saved our son's life. He was brought over from the old Good Samaritan Hospital with a StrepB and Myconium Aspiration making his condition more difficult after his birth. I saw her about a week ago in the Clinic and I had not seen her in 36 years. I recognized her and told her the story. Everyone told us he was going to die but she would not give up. I know this was a long time ago but we will never forget. She is not only a great professional but she is a great person and
