Dr Desai and his PA were very relaxed, Informative, and unhurried during my exam and post exam discussion. I am a huge fan of the Emanuel/Legacy cardiac clinic and very happy to be in their care. I feel well listened to and get sufficient feedback to any questions.

I have a life threatening medical problem that needs regular attention and Dr. Desai has provided the help that I really needed otherwise it would have taken my life. He replaced my aortic heart valve that needed immediate replacement and he provided that need and the follow up care necessary for me. He is now helping me with my blood pressure that has cropped up. He is a very kind and compassionate man that shows through in the medical care he provides. I am so glad to him and his staff on my side!
