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.

Even though my office visits are out of necessity, Dr. Desai and staff make the visit a positive experience with their efficiency , kindness, and attentiveness.

My regular doctor was not available and Dr. Desai agreed to see me with an urgent matter. She took the time to review my chart prior to my visit, making herself familiar with the issue at hand, and had a plan of action ready. My wait time was minimal. Her staff was friendly and competent. Her office very clean. Excellent experience- highly recommend her!

Had a new patient appointment with Dr. Desai today, She did a brief physical assessment and rushed through the visit. Even though it was a new patient appointment she asked me NO questions about my medical history or if i had any concerns/problems. The visit felt like a complete waste of my time.
