Patient Reviews
Jan 05, 2017
My whole family visits for necessary medical reasons, Doctor Desai spends way more time with patients than we had our previous doctors, answers questions suggests many things need. At first my family joined him then I kind of waited two years and now I see that we are happy all joined. many times we were seen ontime as appointments and few times we waited like 10-15 minutes or little longer because like I said Doctor spends ample time with every patients.
