I can't believe there are so many high ratings for a doctor who chastised me for stopping a medication I had an allergic reaction to. Unbelievable.

Dr. Desai and his staff are very professional, courteous, and caring. The doctor made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Although a psychiatrist's job does not entail talk therapy and/or counseling, Dr. Desai made sure to listen and genuinely seemed to want to help. Services are affordable, and I'd definitely recommend him to others! Ps. It takes time and effort to find a good match in everything; therefore, this doctor may or may not be for you. I was lucky to have found a psychiatrist on my first try, and if you're not happy, there's hundreds more to choose from.

Saw him for an "evaluation" to figure out whether I have ADD...he evaluation was a joke on paper and before I even completes the eval he had already written a prescription for Adderall and Lexapro...without even truly examining my medical history. Very disappointed!
