Patient Reviews
Jun 26, 2024
I have been a patient of Dr Desai for about 6 months for sleep apnea. He has been a great help to me and my condition. He is kind, competent and compassionate. He was very detailed in his testing and diagnosis. The staff in his office are great , especially Lisa who provides a warm greeting, makes you feel welcome and is easy to work with. My sleeping and breathing has had a vast improvement under Dr Desai’s direction. I’m thankful to have found such a great doctor and look forward to continuing to work with him.
