Patient Comments
Excellent care
Dr Desai is by far my favorite Doctor ever. He listens carefully and makes appropriate adjustments
Love Dr. Desai!
I did have an assistant or PA this time. I can't remember her name but she was pleasant and she listened. Most importantly she wasn't scared to touch me. [...] I always enjoy my visit with Dr. Desai. He listens and he explains everything that he does and why he does it. [...] I always recommend Dr. Desai. He's a great physician to have when trying to navigate thru these trying times.
Dr Desai is the best doctor at Temple since I've been going there
