Patient Reviews
Nov 15, 2023
I have had a few interactions with Dr. Desai and she was helpful. 4 stars since she made a comment about my head and neck being too forward resulting in the bad posture. I was sitting on a medical bed without any back support and that evaluation doesn't seem to be correct. I should have been sitting in a regular chair that offers back support which most people use in their daily lives. I definitely don't have the best posture, so that part is correct.
