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.

Helpful and caring doctor
Dr. Desai is a kind and caring doctor. He was helpful in prescribing the right medication for my migraines. He is interested in his patients' personal lives to determine what could be contributing to their illnesses. I like that he cares and wants to learn more about me personally, instead of simply diagnosing me and leaving right after a brief interaction.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Desai?
During my recent appointment, Dr. Desai was unprofessional. He asked many personal questions unrelated to my symptoms. He did not provide any diagnosis nor any treatment for my symptoms.
