“Dr. Desai was extremely thorough in explaining options for my cancer diagnosis. He communicated with medical oncologist Dr Hershock prior to my visit with her so she was fully informed of my condition. I appreciated the professionalism he displayed at my visit. He assured me that there would be communication with medical oncologist for continuity of care. I am thankful I was able to get an appointment so quickly with Dr. Desai and to receive the care I need.”
