Excellent experience at Desai Eye Care with Dr. Anu Gupta Desai and Dr. Emily Prouet. The staff was professional, friendly, and very efficient from check-in to checkout. Both doctors took the time to thoroughly explain everything and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. The office was clean, organized, and ran on time, which is rare these days. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and providing high-quality eye care. Highly recommend to anyone in the Lafayette area looking for an eye doctor.

Everyone is so very attentive. They’re pretty accurate with appointment times. Staff and personable and Dr Desai an absolute pleasure. She did my cataract surgery 5 years ago and recently had to do a YAG and she explained the process and what to expect and eased my concern . Would not trust an other doctor or facility .

My visit was excellent as always. The technician was very good and knowledgeable. She would tell me beforehand what each test was for. Dr Desai was as pleasant as always. She not only did a great checkup but also gave me advice about another health issue. Always appreciate! Will always go to this Dr.!
