“I cannot recommend Dr. Vikas Desai highly enough. As someone living with SLE (lupus), finding a physician who truly listens and understands the complexity of autoimmune conditions has been challenging – until I found Dr. Desai.
He took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns and symptoms, never once making me feel rushed or dismissed. I left the appointment with appropriate referrals to specialists who can address specific aspects of my condition, as well as prescriptions that have already begun helping me feel better.
It's rare to find a doctor who combines medical expertise with genuine compassion and thoroughness. If you're looking for a physician who will be a true partner in managing your health, especially with complex or chronic conditions, Dr. Desai is exceptional.

Kept his back to me entire time. Did not seem to care on discussing causes of condition. Mostly interested in what the “data” shows but no review on what I could do to feel better. Prescribed me OTC meds that I was already taking.

The doctor came in and was sighing like it was an inconvenience to him that I was there. I'm also fat and a smoker and every doctor ive been to, including this one, does not think they need to treat me like a regular person because I'm fat and a smoker. I am always told 'just lose weight and quit smoking' instead of doing tests to see if idk something else is wrong. The doctor was extremely rude and felt like he was rushing to get out. Super unprofessional and I will never return nor recommend this doctor to anyone

August 14, 2024Duane B.Verified patient
Great doctor. Only waited for about 20 minutes before being taken in for my appointment , his assistant that did my new patient physical was so friendly. Efficient and caring. I even had to call the after hour line because I needed my prescription sent over to a different pharmacy because I was leaving for vacation the next and my current pharmacy was out of stock. He got back to me 20 minutes later and sent it right over. Happy I finally found a good primary care physician.
