Patient Reviews
Mar 01, 2024
He listens to my concern and with his busy schedule he never rushes you and answers our concerns. He makes good recommendations. You can always text him with concerns and will reply promptly. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. He did both myself and husband cataract and recently did my in law. She cannot praise him enough and was so delighted she went to him. Her husband was reluctant to have his cataract done but after his wife had it done and cannot say enough about Dr. Desai he is now ready to have his done. He is an AMAZING DOCTOR.
