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 certainly recommend her. Excellent.

Extremely pleased with Sabates and appreciate the professionalism everybody displayed.
Dr Desai was excellent in explaining to me all procedural steps were involved in procedure and what precautions I should take post procedure.
The explanations reduced my anxiety to zero.
Very grateful to her for the time she spent in my education.
Dr Desai is a true healer and communicator.

The visit was a normal one. I am a diabetic. Dr. Desai went over everything on my "results" and as usual, It was very comforting to know that she always "tells me like it is" !

I would prefer not to spend the long wait time in the exam room after dilation. It's a bit claustrophobic.

Dr. Desai is so great and professional. She is always so pleasant when I see her and takes the time to cover all aspects related to my eye care. We did not have to wait a long time and the rest of the staff were helpful and professional.

Dr Desai treated me for Iritis and within a couple months it was totally cured. I am so thankful for her excellent treatment and concern for my welfare. I will recommend her to my friends and family if they require treatment for their eyes. Thank you Dr Desai and God bless you.
Sincerely,

Dr. Desai is always very caring and considerate.
Kim, my tech, was nice. She did encourage speed with every test and her mantra was "speed matters" Had not heard that before for an eye test.
