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.

I have and still will refer Dr Desai
From the time I walked in everyone was so friendly and treated with respect. Then with the young lady that took me back, I'm sorry I can't remember her name, but love her, then the same with Dr Desai

I highly recommend Dr Desai
I was having very sharp pains in my stomach area and called for an appt. It seems to be the norm that "we have no appts available" for several weeks. When you are in pain you need attention now, not 4-5 weeks. I asked to Receptionist to leave msg with nurse. Well the next morning I received phone call to come in that day, I was very impressed as this doesn't happen much in today's world. So "Thank You Dr Desai" for seeing me....
