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 been a patient of Dr Desai for about 6 months for sleep apnea. He has been a great help to me and my condition. He is kind, competent and compassionate. He was very detailed in his testing and diagnosis. The staff in his office are great , especially Lisa who provides a warm greeting, makes you feel welcome and is easy to work with. My sleeping and breathing has had a vast improvement under Dr Desai’s direction. I’m thankful to have found such a great doctor and look forward to continuing to work with him.

Very grateful that Dr. Desai treated my Mother in 2018 for COPD. She recovered from that exasperation. We got an extra year to spend with her because of his help.

Run the other way, our doctor in Philadelphia said there was no reasonable explanation for the treatment my husband received from him. Frightening what he did with my husband. He is rude, arrogant and unprofessional.

I am not happy with this DR and his receptionist is the most impolite person I have dealt with. I needed a new pulmonolgoly DR because mine retired and I was hospitalized. He had very little to say. I had to schedule a recheck and the receptionist was very rude. It only got worst at the office. Even the nurse from my insurance company agrees. I am looking for someone new If you want to be treated bad or like you don't exist this is the office for you
