Testimonials

“He was a very calming influence. Explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. Highly recommend.” – Michael (Google review)

“I began seeing Dr. Desai in November 2021. He has been thorough in identifying what my challenges are and continues to work with me to find a treatment plan that is effective for me. Dr. Desai takes a holistic approach to my digestive health—he asks me about my stress levels, diet, routines, and so on. I view Dr. Desai as a critical part of my wellness team. He, Tatiana, Ellen, and the entire Austin Gastro staff have been wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Desai!” – Lori (Google review)

“My husband was incredibly ill, and we didn’t know what was going on. Dr. Desai was calm and helpful and asked for all the correct tests to help him. He called us with the results as soon as he had them, which sped up the process of his healing. I don’t know what we would have done if he wasn’t so calm and helpful and clear in what all the steps were, which all sped up his recovery time. Highly recommend Dr. Desai – he knows his stuff, answered our questions, and explained everything to us.” – Nic (Healthgrades)
