Dr. Desai is an incredible doctor. In fact, my respect for his practice compelled me to write the first review Iâ??ve actually taken the time to write. He's very intelligent, patient, methodical, and puts your mind at ease. He resolved my health concern, welcomed my questions, and took the time to actually answer those questions. On top of his skills as a physician, heâ??s a really likably, down-to-earth person. Finding such intellect, skill and personality in one doctor is quite the rarity and weâ??re so fortunate to have him in Bakersfield.
