I have been a patient of Dr.Desai’s for over 5 years and think she is wonderful. She takes the time to listen to her patients, give thorough exams, and even calls you on her day off to give you test results and check in. She is the BEST!!

Dr. Ami Desai is an ANGEL of a doctor. I feel so lucky to have found her. I cannot tell you enough about how super intelligent, friendly, calm and what a beautiful down to earth person she is. I have the best doctor. Her staff is very courteous and professional too. Excellent nursing staff with a lab inside her office on Michigan Ave. I work downtown, her office is super convenient and fast.

I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Desai and I have been very pleased with her service. I appreciate her warmth, knowledge and patience for me as an individual. She doesn't make you feel like a number in a long line. She is precise and takes time to explain and answer your questions. I like her a lot and will continue to visit her as needed.

Dr. Ami Desai.. is the best doctor I have ever had. She is professional, yet personable. Her bedside manners are AMAZING! Especially in this day in age where most doctors just come in and say a few words and then allow the nurses do the rest of the care plan. I have been with her for almost 8 year.. she has watched me grow up, and has helped me keep my health in tip top shape! Her office staff is friendly my wait time is never over 10 min..really. The office is immaculate, and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Dr. Desai will ALWAYS be my doctor!
