Nice staff and the doctor
Dr. Desai is the most considerate and helpful doctor I have.
office isn't the easiest to get people to call you back, or hear from him, but i'm happy with the Doctor
I was very happy with my infectious disease doctor. I will be consulting him more often. I saw him five years ago. When I came in, he already looked at my review, my chart. It was just wonderful to have a doctor that you sit down with who already understands everything about you and who can will send you in the right direction. So I'm telling you, I'm more than pleased and I'm thinking of moving all my doctors up to Hackensack. All right, thank you, goodbye.
Dr Desai, always greets me warmly and remembers our discussion from our previous visit. He goes over all of my test results and keeps me encouraged to stay on the path to good health. He's an excellent doctor!
