An exceptional doctor. I relocated from NJ recently and was in need of a primary care doctor. Being a Registered Nurse I do my homework and find the most capable of doctors. Dr Desai and in fact the entire practice is exceptional. I can’t recommend them any higher. If you are anywhere near Lake Nona, this is your guy.

Young, nice and smart as a whip. He really took his time with me. I finally felt cared about for once. I was wary of finding a new doctor but I'm sure glad I found him. Plus his assistant is funny and kind and the staff was great!
