Dr Desai was personable, professional, and very informative. He thoroughly explained the process necessary to receive a Spine Neuro-Stimulation or a Pain Pump device, the difference between them in long-term usage, and their ongoing upkeep. He answered all of my questions about the trial and the permanent implantation of both devices and how they were removed, if necessary. He made sure I was comfortable with and understood the information he had provided. Afterwards, a staff member came in with an Order for a Behavioral Health (Psych) Evaluation Referral (which is mandatory to have either of these devices installed).
I felt that everyone from the front desk staff members, the nurses, to Dr. Desai were all professional, pleasant and easy to work with.
I would highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking Pain Management treatment, and specifically the installation of a long-term treatment with either a Spinal Stimulation device or a Pain Pump to treat intractable nerve pain.

I have been very blessed to connect with Dr. Mehul Desai through my other pain care physician Dr. Louis Guerrero who introduced me to Dr. Desai back in 2016 when I have been dealing with some serious severe pain issues. The first time meeting Dr. Desai he was very cordial and truly concerned about my pain throughout my body that I have been suffering from since 2016 till the present. He is a very great doctor of his caliber and I would definitely recommend him to anyone or family dealing with severe chronic pain. Highly recommend him!
Patient,
