No question, Dr. Desai is top notch! He made his own observations from my X-rays and MRI instead of using Urgent Care and Tuckahoe Ortho’s results. He found a course of action without jumping straight to surgery like the others. I saw him 2 weeks after breaking my pinky and was in a great deal of pain. Dr. Desai had his therapy group make me a removable form fitting splint that took all the pain away. I was quite impressed with the whole experience in his office. Definitely recommend him!

Personable, professional, calm and relaxed environment. Since my visit, my wrist feel so much better. I can appreciate best practices and addressing the patient and explaining everything regarding the condition and the most effective medical treatment. Thank you

I was seen in a timely manner to discuss surgery. We viewed the Xrays together and Dr Desai explained the procedure in detail. He answered my questions to my satisfaction. This will be my second surgery performed by him. I have had excellent results with the first and another hand surgeon commented on what a superb job Dr Desai had done! I highly recommend him.
