Shilpa Desai, MD

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Dr. Desai. Bottom line is this: she didn’t listen to me, didn’t view my test results, and actively discounted all fibroid treatment options other than a hysterectomy.
Despite being referred from a doctor in the same practice (on the same floor of the same building), she had no idea why I was there to see her. She did not review my records prior to seeing me, and claimed to not have access to the most recent — and relevant — imaging report that my primary doctor (again, in the same practice) had earlier in the week.
She summarily dismissed even the possibility that my uterine fibroids could be causing pain outside my abdomen. (I had an MRI that clearly shows a large fibroid pressing on the nerve roots leading to the painful area. Dr Desai didn’t read the full report or view the MRI images.)
And, despite not actually reviewing all my information, her recommended treatment options were a) have a hysterectomy or b) have babies right now and then have a hysterectomy.
