Shaunak S. Desai's Online Review Report Card

Dr Desai was recommended to me by my coworker but I find him not wanting to be bothered . I had trigger finger at the thumb and when ever I write or open bottles it would hurt since my job requires this , I need time off , he would only authorize 1 week and would not listen to my job description . Gave me cortisone shot and sent me on my way. I end up getting a second opinion and since then got my surgery for trigger finger release. Gotten 4 week after surgery to recover. Normally trigger finger is not a big deal and recovery should only be 1 week but due to the nature of my work and the location of the trigger finger , I was not able to work to fully of my duties. Dr Desai needs to be more empathetic and listen to pt needs. I will not recommend him to anyone

Dr. Desai has been nothing but an amazing doctor for me. Because of my dupatrens contracture I've had many surgeries with Dr. Desai. Always very kind thoughtful and explains everything. I've never been rushed not once. Answers every question.Thank you again Dr. Desai

My 14 year old daughter had a wrist injury skateboarding while we were on vacation over summer. She complained of pain and loss of motion for a few weeks after the incident. I didn't realize the significance of her injury until we saw Dr. Desai. Luckily for us, his office was very accommodating in making the appointment. She had a series of x-rays in his office which was very efficient. Upon reviewing the films Dr. Desai explained in detail the severity of her injury. He was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel confident in his treatment plan. Dr. Desai saw us several times afterwards and monitored her progress closely. A few months later and she is doing great - full motion in the wrist and back to skating (slightly more cautious). I cannot recommend Dr. Desai enough as his knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Thank you, sir, for getting my girl back in action!

I came in with a confirmed broken elbow. Dr. Desai never examined my arm and never asked me to move it. He said he didn't think I needed surgery but would order a CT scan in case. I had my follow up appointment after the scan with Dr. Desai virtually. He told me that he remembered that I had good mobility (again, he never checked) and determined I did not need surgery. After feeling uncomfortable with his initial assessment and no exam, I had a second opinion (with Dr. Rose - an amazing surgeon) scheduled immediately. Dr. Rose actually examined my arm and realized that I could not supinate at all and scheduled me for surgery that week. Luckily I listened to my gut and not Dr. Desai. My bone was actually so displaced he couldn't even move it during surgery until after he put the screws in). If I would have waited he would have had to remove the top of my bone to get my mobility back. 0 stars for a rushed visit and no examination = negligence

Great experience! Helpful and gave me options about treatment for my problem. He is conservative and does not jump to surgery (Although he is a surgeon!)

He was on time and friendly. Really cared about getting me better. Excellent experience!

Dr. Desai got me back to playing tennis. Friendly and professional. Great surgeon!

Great with kids and adults. I have seen him for my hand pain and have taken my children to see him for broken bones. He is funny and puts us at ease!

Great doctor and excellent surgeon!

Dr. Desai was able to see me the same day as my injury. He was great at explaining my options. He has taken care of my broken clavicle and now is currently fixing my broken wrist. Highly recommended.
