Dr. Desai is a quiet doctor, but obviously very knowledgeable in his field. He listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination, and was able to quickly diagnose my issue and recommend a course of action. Greatly appreciated!

Very quick to medicate. Did not listen very much to what I felt and made his own judgements.

Angel the nurse very nice but I don't like this place at all.
November 11, 2014Maria A C.Verified patient
Staff was not very professional. Wait time was longer than expected seeing as I was the only patient there. Bedside manner of Dr. Desai was poor. Saw me as just another patient coming through, showed little interest in my well-being.

The mid-wife is amazing to work with. The doctor and nurse it seems like you battle to get a straight solid answer. Don't even try calling the number to answers or assistance, rarely ever works.

He is a bad doctor! he wrote the wrong dosage of my prescription and when i went back to his office to correct the mistake, he want to charge me again for correcting the prescription!! However, the lady in the front desk she was very nice and she helped me with this issue.
by the way, I don't have insurance, and he charged me a lot only to write a prescription.

He was a very competent doctor and saw me right away after I filled out my new patient paperwork. He did a routine patient history on me and was very thorough. I have already scheduled an appointment with him for next month. Highly recommend!
