Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I currently have a 50% blockage and Dr. Desai is managing the medication & life-style changes that I needed in order to lower cholesterol levels and plaque build-up. Also has recommended a moderate, controlled exercise regimen that will maintain or improve my overall health. While he is an excellent surgeon, I appreciate the fact that he views surgery only after all other non-invasive options have been exhausted. Very punctual and has respect for his patients time. Takes the time to explain all the factors, and choices, in a very clear, understandable way.

He is an excellent doctor, he performed angiography on my dad and had a stent put in my dads heart, my dad had almost 95% blockage. He tried to explain all the relevant things about the procedure and I was extremely confident in getting it done by him. Since both my parents were heart patients, I also got evaluated myself with the doctor, and once again he was very honest, and ordered only those tests that were absolutely essential. He also is very approachable and very humble.
