"I’ve had nothing but goodness and much success with my issues since coming here.
Dr. Desai and her team are excellent at their craft. The office is run in a professional manner, which I love. Dr. Desai’s assistant was very knowledgeable and caring. I really appreciated the time she took with me to explain what iron infusion was all about. Her information made the iron infusion tolerant for me. Overall, I give a big shout to Dr. Desai and her excellence, expertise, caring and professionalism. I would definitely refer my friends to this facility..

"Everyone I dealt with from the receptionist to Dr. Desai herself was kind, courteous, professional and caring. I met with Jaime the PA first. She asked several questions and explained everything as well as pausing along the way to ask if I had any questions. Dr. Desai came in and explained things in a soothing way that made me feel much better. I cracked a few jokes during the meeting and they even laughed."
