I've been blessed to have gotten Dr. Desai when I became very ill. He has made me feel safe and cared for. He has done everything in his power to assure me and my family that I will recover. Even when I was in the hospital, he kept checking on me.

My oncolgist recommended and made this appointment. She wanted an expert to look at all my scans to see if there was a problem with a nodule in my lung. This Dr was very helpful, he did not find anything unusual. He did however talk about the asthma. He said he wanted to up my medicine to prevent so many infections. I agreed and started the new regimen the following day. Since my strength and energy has improved. What a blessing.

Dr Desai is an outstanding physician. He prepared diligently before my appointment with him. He knew my medical history and that allowed my appointment to flow nicely and be extremely satisfactory. He was very knowledgeable and his diagnosis was impeccable. I have never met a doctor that is so prepared, humble, great bedside manners, and knowledgeable. His staff was extremely courteous and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and treat me with respect. My wait time was little to none. Outstanding office staff and physician!

Sometimes I feel down having this service connected disability but I know they are here to help me progress through It when I need them so I would feel alone battling with It. I would recommend them my friends and family for their thoroughness and patient care willingness towards workable solutions.

Dr H. Desai was thoroughly prepared for my appointment. He had already looked up my two ER visits in my patient record and was prepared from moment one of my appointment! That's the first time I've EVER had a physician be updated prior to my arrival. Thankfully bc of that preparedness I didn't have to go into great detail about my two ER visits and we could immediately begin with what our NEW plan of care would be! Dr Desai is a WONDERFUL physician!
