“I wanted to specialize in oncology because it is an opportunity to combine state-of-the-art medical care with the empathy and compassion that are central to truly helping people… and that you and your loved ones deserve. Through my 10+ years as a cancer specialist, there have been significant changes in oncology, and now I’m able to offer better treatments with fewer side effects. The product of these changes, for me, is the fulfillment that comes with seeing more and more patients cured of their cancer or living longer, higher-quality lives with the people they love.”

He looked at my previous test results, asked questions about me and my family history and developed a plan to gather more information. He told me when my test results would be available and that he would call me about the results. He also asked the names of my other doctors and said that he would be in contact with them regarding my results. I was very happy to meet Dr Desai. He impressed me as a very kind and caring doctor."
