Dr Desai was born to be a child Psychatrist. He is kind, compassionate, very thorough and conservative with medicine which I like. My son is autistic and Dr Desai stabilized him and gave us our son back. If I could give 10 stars I would. Simply the best!

I can't say enough good things about Dr Desai. Seeing him, is how seeing a child psychiatrist should be. He takes the time go ask a lot of questions to make sure we're all on the same page, with what has been going on. Any medication change doesn't happen until we're all agreed about it. He listens, he cares, he's wonderful.

I've been seeing this psychiatrist for almost 10 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work. He spends a lot of time with me and is very thorough. He keeps in touch with me at home when medicine has changed or if I left the office anything other than normal. Excellent doctor!!!!
