My excellent ophtalmologist (Dr. Athanasios George) referred my wife and me to Dr. Desai for a specialized consult. We have now been patients of Dr. Desai for more than two years. We have full confidence in his expertise and skills. Very thorough, takes the time necessary, good advice and information, takes prompt preventive and curative action as needed. Highly recommended.

I’ve Been A Patient of Dr. Desai for ‘Over’ 10 Years❗️Since After He ’Saved’ My Sight When I Had a ’Partially Detached ’Retina’ Just As I Was About to Retire from my Teaching Possition in MCPS. I Didn’t Realize How ’Bad’ of a Problem Which I Had. As My Sister Heard Me Describe My Situation, We Were Refered to Dr. Desai He Performed Emergency Re-Attachment of my ’Right Retina’- All While My ’Sister Stayed w-Me Aa I Went through the Procedure. I’ve Continued to See Dr. Desai for Yearly Checkups - to Maintain my ‘ Stability’- Which Dr. Desai Has ‘Ensured’. ‘I Highly’ Recommend Dr. Desai to ‘Others’ Requiring ‘Retina Maintenance.

I am very happy having chosen Dr Desai for my retina problem. He checks the eyes thoroughly and decides whether to do laser surgery or not. I got it done two times and it was handled with great respect and professional way. I was fortunate to be recommended to him many my eye Dr to take care of my retina. I am very grateful to him and would recommend to any other retina patients. Just one thing is there that it takes hr or two wait but I guess it is true with other retina Drs too.
