Dr. Desai is fabulous. He knew I needed a phlebotomy after seeing my blood test and immediately made that happen. He's very caring and I always feel confident in his decisions. He's very also never fails to include me in the plan. Such a positive doctor.

I can't say enough about Dr. Desai and his staff that are AMAZING to work with. I've been battling anemia for years and Dr Desai was the first to diagnose explain and come up with a treatment plan. Such a caring team. My dad sees him as well and absolutely LOVES Dr Desai and the staff!
