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.
