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 have been fortunate to have Dr. Desai as my cardiologist since 2015. He is extremely knowledgeable and answers all my questions. He has a wonderful personality and cares deeply for his patients.

Dr. Desai has been my cardiologist for eleven years. He is an outstanding physician: a great listener, caring, sensitive to the patient's needs, and above all, one gets the sense during the visit that you and you alone are the only patient on his agenda. I have had the good fortune to e+perience several "great" doctors at the Brigham; Akshay Desai is one of them.
