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 would trust Dr Desai with my family's needs. He is very knowledgeable and very caring in my needs.

The nurse's stations are very close to the patient rooms and you can hear the doctors and nurses talking and cutting up even through the closed doors. It is unprofessional. I have found Dr. Desai's nurse to be rude and abrasive. I also feel rushed when Dr. Desai comes enters the room and that makes me feel devalued as a patient.

I was suffering from shortness of breath, and checked with him and my tests turned out to be fine, and he agreed with my cardiologist and Internist that it was likely a problem with anxiety.

Dr. Desai cared for my father throughout stage 4 lung cancer. He is very kind but also extremely smart and thorough. He is one of the best that Shreveport has to offer.
