My insurance from Blue Cross has been canceled by Legacy. Therefore, I would not consider this visit a good experience.

I have a life threatening medical problem that needs regular attention and Dr. Desai has provided the help that I really needed otherwise it would have taken my life. He replaced my aortic heart valve that needed immediate replacement and he provided that need and the follow up care necessary for me. He is now helping me with my blood pressure that has cropped up. He is a very kind and compassionate man that shows through in the medical care he provides. I am so glad to him and his staff on my side!

There several people involved in this first visit to deal with a heart issue. Everyone was engaged and explained things and asked if we have any questions... Multiple times. I came away impressed with the experience. And given what I am facing felt I could trust this team and Dr. Desai.
