Verified Patient Reviews for Ankita Desai, MD
Responsiveness, didn't have to wait long.
Everyone was nice and professional.
I appreciated that we were able to schedule the visit as Telehealth. I feel like Dr. Desai is an excellent listener. She takes the time to address questions and address all the available options but ultimately lets the decision be the patient's. She also covers her bases on making sure there are various supports available to ensure I am taken care of as a whole person.

My problems were taken seriously my pain was taken seriously, and every single person that helped me treated me with respect and believed me when I said I was in pain and helped me figure out what was wrong and then immediately executed on the recommended treatment. I’m so grateful for Dr. Desai for jumping in and immediately being willing to figure out this almost decade long pain that I’ve been trying to figure out
Dr. Desai is amazing, she truly cares about her patients and takes time with you, the appointments are never rushed.

Dr. Desai is amazing as usual! She takes time to listen to me and have a real conversation about my health and just my life in general. I love that she takes a genuine interest in me.
Dr. Desai was very calm and understanding with me. I felt like she really listened to me and the issues I’m experiencing. I would recommend her to anyone. I’ve not felt like this with any other doctor I’ve had in a very long time.

Dr. Desai and her family enjoy getting outside to go hiking. When they're not exploring the outdoors they are exploring all of the hidden gems the Triangle has to offer. They also love to travel and hope to share their passion of travel with their kids.
