How likely are you to recommend Dr. Desai?
I was referred to Dr. Desai to try and help me with the extreme pain Ive had in my back for over 21 months. Ive had a Medtronics pump since 2002, Im having an issue with the catheter hurting in my back, Im being told there's nothing wrong with it. Then why do I hurt so bad the pump works great, why take it out then I have to go back on oral meds and be miserable? So I found Dr. Desai came in the room sat down on the exam table at talked like he's know me for ever. I just want the pain to stop, I explained everything to him and he is going to try and help me stop hurting. No guarantee it will work but it's worth a try! Everyone in the office was extremely nice and helpful always wanting to listen to you and not tell you that there shouldn't be nothing wrong. I am extremely thank full he is going to help me, I haven't been able to hold my granddaughter in almost a year because it hurts so bad. Hopefully I'l be able to hold and hug her like a grandparent should be able to do.
