After seeing Dr. Desai for almost 2 years through her hard, meticulous and dedicated work, she's able to extend the intervals between my eye injections to preserve my vision. This is a huge accomplishment given the aggressiveness of my retina condition.

Dr Desai is outstanding. I have been in her care for over a year. She treated me for retinal tears, which completed cleared up my eye problems.
