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.

Dr. Desai
Dr. Desai is unequivocally the finest doctor I have encountered. His attentive nature and authentic concern for his patients are remarkable. In 2022, he took charge of my AFib and, with his wealth of experience and expertise, set me on the course to improved health. His consistent follow-up speaks volumes about his dedication to his patients. Undoubtedly, he is a true standout in the field of cardiology. When I meet with him for my appointments, I feel like I am being treated by a friend.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
From my first visit, through my thyroid removal surgery, till my final appt last week, I have had absolutely the best care under Dr Desai. His knowledge,education and training is exemplary and what impressed me above and beyond is the care and concern he has for his patients. Communicating clearly the entire process, answering the many questions I had thoroughly, with no rush, followed up with my progress and always avail should I have any issues , which there were none . I am so grateful I had Dr. Desai for this procedure and without a doubt, recommend him highly.

Inefficient office staff
Dr Desai indicated to receptionist that I had two prescriptions to be called in. They were not. Called left message and still nothing. Called two days later and found out that my pharmacy information was not put into my records. No one called me. Left message for doctor. No one called to even ask me for my pharmacy info. Doctor must not have gotten the message for him to call me. Very inefficient office staff. Won't go back to that location. Will remain with Dr Desai.
