“Dr. Desalvo was the warmest and most welcoming doctor anyone could ask for. I felt seen and heard and respected all throughout my appointment and left there with actual recommendations and referrals! ”
Joanna W.February 21, 2026
“Dr. Desalvo is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. That said, my appointment felt somewhat rushed, and having a scribe present during my gynecology visit made me a little uncomfortable.
If you prefer a more in-depth, slower-paced experience, this place is not for you.
