I have been consulting Dr. Joy Desai for over 20 years, ever since I had surgery for abcesses in my brain. Throughout, he has been friendly and helpful, patiently answering all my questions. Thanks to him I have been in good health for these last two decades. I would warmly recommend him to any patient in need of a good neurologist.

I had an appointment with Dr. Joy Desai, for my father, who is suffering from cerebral stroke. A junior doctor first took a detailed look into my fathers previous reports and prescriptions, listened to all his health issues. He then wrote a short report on papas health condition. Dr Joy Desai then read that report and did diagnosis. Both the doctors were very friendly to us. Answered our questions. Also there was hardly any extra waiting time. Lets hope that my papa recovers soon.

He was not satisfying . When my father was explaining about problem Joy Desai was talking on cellphone and Joy Desai didn't paid attention to patient. When Patient explain about problem to Doctor was talking on cellphone what what a arrogance ! His assistant talked with my father not him , My father came from Jalgaon by train , 8 hours journey. We paid money Rs 2500 for Joy Desai's treatment not not for assistant. Joy Desai doesn't need patients. He doesn't explain about treatment. My father felt dizziness in hospital but still he didn't paid attention. Not at all satisfying nor He need patients.

Will give more advice about the things which are not related to your disease.
I think it's a waste of money to consult Mr. Desai as he is more over interested in stories and less interested in the medical reports and diagnosis assessment reports from other doctors.
