My goal is to work with my patients in order to adequately deliver high quality medical care. I make it a point to keep my patients well informed, comfortable and engaged in their own treatment. Answering questions, addressing concerns and hearing the opinions of my patients are paramount. No one knows their own body and symptoms more than the patient and that is how I conduct my management. I want to be a physician that is approachable and relatable. I will always put my patients first.

Dr. Desai listened with sincere interest to my concerns and responded after having listened to me and examined my past test/lab reports, as well as having read the notes given to him from my previous GI who is retiring. My first appointment with Dr. Desai established my trust in him.
All good - listened to all I had to say asked a few questions then discussed eveything.
This was the first time I saw this doctor. He listened and was very clear. I received exactly the care I would desire.
