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. Desanti gave me the most thorough exam I have ever had. Took a lot of time to talk first and after the visit.

I've been going to Dr. Desanti since I was 15. She is kind and professional and little quirky, which is wonderful. She makes an awkward doctors visit pleasant. Although I do not live close to her office she is worth the drive. Her staff has always been easy to work with and comforting.

Dr. DeSanti has always given sufficient time for the examination and full explanations. She answers all my questions and makes sure I understand what is going on. I have always been treated with courtesy and respect by her entire staff. I would recommend her services.

Was going to this office in Sparta for years and saw the Nurse practitioner, whom I loved. They never sent me a follow up card and it occurred to me that I hadn't been for a visit in over a year. I call and got The Colombia NJ office about an hour away. Made an appointment out there and was treated poorly by the doctor, when I remarked about moving with out giving notice. We have a lot of patients I was told. Well now you have one less. Also, Never called me with results.

Secretary (Sue) has control problem. Rude and mean. If you're looking for an argument go see her. No such thing as the customer is always right with her. A lot of fluff here. Make you come back again and again just to give you test results even if there is nothing wrong. Guess that's the only way to hear from the doctor you won't want to deal with Sue. Was referred by a friend, but time is up here for me.

Horrible & unproffessional staff. Very rude to patients & lacks knowledge. Sue is the worst! She doesnt schedule appoints to allow enough time, then calls back to cancel. Been waiting and trying to get an appoint since September 2015! Unexceptable & unprofessional for the Dr to allow this woman to come into contact with patients. Going to a gynocologist is hard enough without having to deal with staff members like that!!!! Will NEVER recommend this Dr to ANYONE again!Shopping for a new Dr.
