Great!

Dr. Desai was a very thorough doctor that completed neck surgery for me. He was always willing to answer questions and provide details of next steps. The incision has healed very well, and he took great care to explain the best ways to treat the incision area. I would definitely recommend him and his team for any ENT needs!

Great experience thus far. Dr. Desai had to surgically place tubes in my toddler's ears. The procedure went well and every follow up appointment has gone just as smooth.

Dr. Desai is very thorough and knowledgeable. He was able to perform my ‘tricky’ septoplasty flawlessly. He is a great ENT; I would recommend him.

I had a great experience here. I had never been to an ENT before, but I had a horrible ear ache. Dr. Desai was able to fix me right up. Now my ears feel great!

I had a great experience here. After seeing a general practitioner for a blow to my face and not getting treatment, I saw Dr. Desai who determine that while there was no bone fracture that there was a fracture to the septum and he offered different treatment plans (I just went with a nasal spray) and was told that I could follow up in four weeks or if I was feeling better could cancel it. I felt that he really listened and thorough but was not condescending.
