Dr.Desai, is a doctor full of wisdom, knowledge and skill. He studied my serious condition and found a path to help me after I had been told by other specialist there was nothing more they could do for me. At my recent visit after surgery, he asked me exact questions, he listened to my concerns, and he addressed each one. He also celebrated with me the progress I have made and the hope I have for a much healthier future. I am so thankful for this outstanding doctor and the team that stands with him.
