Testimonials

"Best doctor!"

I love dr desai, if it wasn’t for him I don’t know where I would be. I don’t trust doctors but someone talked me into at least one trip to see him and he actually sat down and listened to what I had to say. I knew then he was a good doctor. Best doctor!

Dr. Desai is the best family Doctor we have ever had. He gives us enough time for our visits and always listen to us. I am so grateful to him.

He is simply the greatest, most caring doctor my family and I have ever known.

"I consider Dr. Desai like family."

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Desai. He is extremely compassionate and cares so very much about his patients. I have seen many doctors in my lifetime and I must say he is the Best I've ever seen. I consider Dr. Desai like family. I am truly blessed to have such a kind, compassionate and understanding physician as Dr. Desai. He takes the time to listen to me and always tries to help the best he can, everytime.

Great doctor!

Spent all the time required to cover all my concerns. Dr. Desai also learns from my personal experience and takes notes.

"The best!"

Dr. Desai you are the best! The front office is absolutely nice, sweet and wonderful! They each have shown their courteous and caring manner each time we have an appt!

"Above and beyond the call of duty"

I cannot put into words what I think of Dr. Desai! He has gone above the call when it came to my health care. Dr. Desai’s office team sure goes above and beyond the call of duty many times.

"Our lives and health are so much better because of him"

About 10 years ago, I found Dr. Desai. I was very sick mentally and my body was just going downhill. From the first visit with Dr. Desai, I could tell he cared and he listened. Believe me, I was a mess. He took the time and care to treat me. Ten years later I still go to him and so does my husband. Our lives and health are so much better because of him. We love Dr. Desai. Thank you from Joe and Anna!

"Can't say enough good things about Dr. Desai"

I want to take the opportunity to commend Dr. Desai for the extreme care he has given to myself and especially my wife in the last few years. My wife is bedridden and every month he comes to my home to change her catheter and check her over without fail. Very courteous and does not rush his visit when he comes, but the opposite he not only is courteous, but he takes whatever time it takes to satisfy her needs. Not only does he care for her, but knowing that I have no one to watch her when I am gone from our home, he schedules my office visits so that I have absolutely no waiting time when I come in for my routine visits. I'm in and out in a flash making sure that everything required in the visit is taken care of. He also asks about my wife on those office visits showing a real concern for both of us. Reminds me of the good ole country doctors you read about or see on TV from back in the good old days before money became more important to a person than everything else. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Desai or his staff.... Read More +
