This visit was excellent! Dr. Desai listened to my concerns and acted swiftly to alleviate my pain by injecting my elbow while I was in the office today. No continued booking of appointments to determine a plan of care. For this I am grateful!

I had an ideal experience with both the resident and Dr. Desai himself! I explained Why I was there and then given an excellent data about trigger thumb strategies and outcomes. Dr. Desai was very friendly, presented me with beautifully organized information, was willing to ask every question, told me what to expect after my steroid injections. I had an ideal experience with him and would highly recommend him! My experience there could not have been improved upon!
