Dr. Neal Desai is one of the most humble, wonderful doctors I have ever met. He was knowledgeable and took time to listen to my concerns. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful Ophthalmologist. The front desk staff was also very friendly, the paperwork wasn't tedious, and the assistants who worked with Dr. Desai were just as pleasant as he was. ****5 Stars all the way *****
