Patient Reviews
Oct 06, 2023
Dr. Desai is always welcoming and put one at ease. Today I was in for an injection for the pain in my right hip. THis is a repeat procedure. First time I was give lots of detail on what he was going to do and what the end results can be. So since I had that info already the visit was very quick. The numbing injection is the worst part. Quick and the 2nd injection was done and immediate relief.
