Patient Reviews
Jul 26, 2022
I went to Dr. Desai's office because I had severe pain throughout my body and could barely walk. He correctly diagnosed the problem and wrote a prescription to alleviate the pain. Shortly after taking the prescription I was able to walk without pain and able to do all my chores. He has been the primary care physician for both my husband and me for about fifteen years. He has always given us the best care. We would both very highly recommend him. I do not often write reviews but this doctor definitely deserves the very best rating possible.
