Testimonials

Mindy Benn

"Dr. Desai is phenomenal. Today was my second time seeing him. The first time he kind of fit me in on an emergency basis. Today's visit was planned. I have had two injections into my SI joint, and I have barely felt them. He seems very well versed for the Ehers Danlos Population. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others."

Saied Sartipzadeh

"Dr. Desai is the best. He is professional, forthright, honest, and takes time with his patients. I cannot recommend him highly enough. His office staff is also great. You will not have to wait long and you will wish every doc office was like his"

Mary Akers

"On my first visit, Dr. Desai thoroughly discussed with me what it was I was dealing with in the back and shoulder pain and what my options were. He referred me to a physical therapist, who has been effective, and gave me a cortisone inject in the shoulder, which has relieved some of the pain. The nice thing about working with him is he takes the time to discuss options."

Andrew Apfelbaum

"My wife has chronic pain. After her MRI, Dr. Desai never got in touch with her to discuss the results, nor has he responded to any messages. At his instruction, she sent him messages about increased strength lidocaine creams or patches, to which he never responded. This is unacceptable for pain management. Patients are in distress and do not deserve to be ghosted. Reading other reviews, it seems like if he doesn't understand the etiology of the pain, he simply ceases to engage with patients, especially if the patient is a woman."

Lisa F.

"I was very pleased with the service I received from Dr Desai. He took time to answer all my questions and also explained what some of the issues in my lower back and spine. Dr Desai also took time to go over options available for my problems.v Thank you !"

Gerald Shea

"Dr Desai seemed to understand my condition very well in my first appointment. He prescribed x-rays, an MRI, and pain medication. The medication reduced my pain by 99%! Also worth noting is that he had excellent support staff -- knowledgeable, empathetic, and efficient. All told, my appointment with Dr Desai was the best medical encounter I've had in years."

Amy Nelson
