My consultation was rushed and Dr Desai was late. Misdiagnosed me with infection and tried to rule out blood disorders, but did not order complete testing. After obtaining further opinions with another physician, more extensive testing showed that I had a blood disorder.
He is nice and courteous but is always rushing and I don’t felt that he evaluated me well.

He is wonderful and has done the best for me. He explains things to you so that you can understand what is going on. His staff is wonderful and caring and I don’t know if I’d be here today if I didn’t have him has my oncologist .

Stay away. So very far away. You can find a better doctor. Perhaps he is brilliant, I don't really know. I found him to be dismissive and uninterested. He seemed upset that the Sherman Hospital E.R. referred me to him. Apparently he felt I was a waste of his time. Truly, he was a waste of my time.

I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma over 8 years ago by Dr Desai. He saved my life. His knowledge, understanding, patients, and attention to my individual care was and still is world class. I would highly recommend him for anyone diagnosed with cancer in the McHenry County area.
