What Patients are Saying
Debbie H
“Dr. Desai is the absolute best! He
listens, he cares and he is smart. He explains everything. He is the only surgeon I trusted to do my recent surgery. My husband has had 2 surgeries. Each was straightforward just as he described. Love him!"
Randy W
"The minute Dr. Desai walked into the room to assess my broken ankle for surgery I immediately felt at ease and knew I had just met the right doctor for my needs."

“I shattered my heel and got in within three days to talk to Dr Sarang. He is very honest, which I appreciate. He listened and was able to address all the thoughts and questions I didn't even know I had. For me, he decided not to do surgery based on how the bones are line up. To me, that shows the patient's well being means more than doing a surgery I'm sure most would have done.”
