    How was your appointment with Dr. Desai?

    Jan 13, 2020
    Dr. Desai is thorough in conveying the situation to the patient and has a superb manner; putting patients at ease. A difficult task since many who see her, like I, have stage 4 cancer Her staff is responsive and a delight to deal with during this difficult time. They go out of their way to accommodate the patient, in this case, me. I cannot find the words to express how special she has proven to be.
