Dr. Rikesh Desai, MD

I went to Dr. Desai's office because I had severe pain throughout my body and could barely walk. He correctly diagnosed the problem and wrote a prescription to alleviate the pain. Shortly after taking the prescription I was able to walk without pain and able to do all my chores. He has been the primary care physician for both my husband and me for about fifteen years. He has always given us the best care. We would both very highly recommend him. I do not often write reviews but this doctor definitely deserves the very best rating possible.

Dr, Desai is my primary care provider. He has cared for me more for more than 11 years. He pays close attention to the effectiveness of my prescriptions and my over all health. I believe he is an excellent physician. .

Every few months I see Dr. Desai as he keeps tabs on my health. He watches my Blood work for various health related issues. He adjusts my meds intake according to my needs.

Listens well. Very friendly. Remembers previous visits and asks about on-going concerns / issues discussed during those visits. Recommends minimum drugs initially but suggests additional or alternative drugs if conditions change or do not improve. When I needed a specialist, each of the specialists he has suggested have been very helpful.

I've been going to Dr. Desai for years. I am in excellent health due to him. Had back and leg pain for years and my old doc sent me for rehab! Dr. Desai sent me to the best orthopedic surgeon, had hip replacement surgery and I can walk and stay on my feet for hours. He has recommended the best docs that I know of especially my hematologist which I have heard a lot of patients can't get in to see her, and now I'm going to make an appointment with a new gastroentologoist that he suggested. I'm 72 and healthy because of him. We have discovered I have osteoporosis and he referred me to have the 'shots' taken.

Just terrible. Doesnt seem to care. diagnosed me wrong.. found out when I went tot he specialist. Cant understand his english. mumbles. his staff is worse than him. Just stay away from this entire practice

Dr Desai has been my 97 year old Mother’s Dr for about 18 years. At first he was very quiet but the more we asked questions and talked to him, we found him very cordial. He has been so kind, helpful and caring. He helped getting her set up with Hospice at home and has been extremely helpful getting her set up with the process of assisted living. He has gone above and beyond and has even made “house calls” because she is unable to come to his office. I highly recommend him. He is so compassionate and never had any of the issues that a couple of people who reviewed him had. My mother also has been very happy with Dr Desai and trusts him completely!

He was good in the beginning. As time went on he kept wanting to prescribe me more meds, pushing to prescribe the more expensive meds, always giving out samples. I always felt rushed through my appointments like I’m just another number. Since the COVID-19 stay home order, Dr Desai did not see me in person, only by telemedicine. Worst experience ever. He would not give direct answers to the CDC stay at home concerns. He wanted me to make decisions for myself. Again being rushed even on the Telemedicine. He told me he had another patient waiting he had to go. His MA was rude as well on the phone and even ruder in person. Her actions of eyeing me from the top to the bottom of how I looked was so demeaning and made me feel less than human. Never experienced such unprofessional attitude. The girls in the front were always nice and very helpful to me. The money I paid into my health was a waste and didn’t make a change in my health.

The worst Dr I have ever seen. Very moody, give impression you are wasting his time and seems to be put out if asked a question. In years of seeing Drs and never being unsatisfied, only changing Dr due to retirement or they moved he is the only one I fired. He doesn't realize he is paid because of the patient.

I have seen Dr Desai 3 times and have found him to be very professional, friendly and always willing to listen. Refers to other specialties promptly when needed.

I was seen by this doctor once and it was a horible experience. He rushed through my visit. Did not even seem interested in my history then referred me to a different office without even an exam or anything. Not even fit to treat animals.

Not a very good doctor extremely robotic in demeanor, his body language and affect were non existent he has zero charisma. He is very matter of fact, but does not care to listen to his patients. I had to see him because of state achess ins. I was there for an anxiety issue that put in the E.R. But, this dr. First questions both time I saw him was in regards to my heart. when I asked questions on why he treated me this he decided to just kick me out and said he did not want to deal with me. done.
