Perfect! Dr. Desai listened and carefully explored my symptoms. He reviewed and explained relevant prior test results and performed a careful examination. He then provided reasonable reassurances but also recommenced additional testing to help exclude the possibility of coronary artery narrowing which was on my mind.

The first stop ECO was on time and well done. The second appointment was late but the doctor apologized that he was tied up and was great to talk to as always.

very informative

My visit with Dr Desai was exceptionally positive. He was very thorough and I came away from the appointment with definitive information regarding my condition. His demeanor and professionalism was impressive to say the least. While my diagnosis is not what I was hoping for Dr Desai gave me the candid information I needed to lean into my treatments with a determination that is absent of any questions about my condition. I value the precise information Dr Desai gave me and I now feel much better about how to precede with my condition and have a clear roadmap to work to better my circumstances. I cannot stress enough how much I value his straight forward approach in explaining my condition. I had false diagnosis on two previous visits to other facilities and Mass General Brigham/Dr Desai put my mind at ease and I now have every confidence that I have received exemplary care. A huge thank you to all of you at MGB.
