Tried to return missed call before office closed at 4 pm. They turn phones over at 3:51 pm and don’t answer. “Yabbaa, dabba doooo! Down the dinosaur tail!”

Dr. Desai was arrogant, condescending, and rude. He did not take me seriously and basically said that my digestive issues were all in my head. I have now been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and had to have a pyloroplasty after suffering for half a decade. My gallbladder had to be removed as well because it was not functioning. Do not go to this doctor. He is the absolute worst.
