    Dr. Desi is the reason that Southwest gets the high scores I put down. Not sure if I’d stay with this if it wasn’t for him and maybe one or two other others.

    Dr. Desai is very caring and does listen to what you have to say and gives you feedback. I am happy that he was given a more responsible job but wish it could have been closer to my home. He is happy at the new location and that is what counts and you can tell he is very happy to to helping the new doctors and staff.
