Dr. Desai and his team were great.
Zocdoc was NOT. Zocdoc screwed up the appointment. Luckily I called the doctor's office to confirm the day before and while they had no record of the appointment they made room and squeezed me in at a different time. I doubt I will be using zocdoc again - defeats the purpose if I have to call in to talk to the doctor's office to confirm anyway.

Dr. Desai was very nice and easy to talk to. He was very thorough with explaining everything to me and I would recommend him to anyone! The MA was very friendly as well! I think her name was Jessica.
