One of the best doctors visits I've ever had. Dr. Desai is truly a caring and kind individual. He listened to me, cared about my situation, explained everything thoroughly, answered all my questions and never made me feel rushed. He understood my medical history and created space for my past experiences to inform this experience. Honestly, this visit was incredibly healing for me. I will always see Dr. Desai for this injury specific need and will receive care from Vanderbilt Orthopedics exclusively for any other care needs. All the staff were so kind and thorough. The facility is wonderful. Everyone is so good at their jobs. I'm so, so impressed and floored by how wonderful an experience this has been.
