He always takes the time to listen and answer whatever questions you may have. He genuinely cares for his patients and it shows in his interactions with patients as well as their family. My mom and dad did their colonoscopy with Dr. Desai. It was their first time which made us all super nervous. I was always comfortable knowing that my parents were in good hands with Dr. Desai and his team. We highly recommend Dr. Desai. May god bless him and may he continue to touch lives with his kindness and compassion."

Dr. Desai explained in detail my procedure and gave the same detail and time with my great results post op.The front desk staff was very efficient and got me checked in with ease, Jillian the prep nurse was AH-MAZING, Joe the anesthesiologist was the best I’ve had being just recovered from breast cancer I’ve been under a few times recently and he was by far the best personality and professional I’ve seen. Rachel the nurse that transferred me to my procedure and to post op was pleasant and very helpful. I can’t wait for my 10yr follow up with this same team…they better still be there! 😊"

"Dr. Desai and his staff are very personable and attentive, clearly well organized and efficient. Highly recommend him and his staff. Great experience at their office."
"Outstanding experience with Dr. Desai. Exactly the kind of doctor I like working with; smart, friendly, personable, and efficient. Great listener and answered all of my questions. Couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone who needs a GI doc. On a separate note, the entire staff at Texas Endoscopy was equally outstanding. From the receptionist, to the nurses and anesthesia - all were exceptional, start to finish. Very well run operation, start to finish!"
"Dr. Desi has been my doctor for almost 5 years now. In my experience he is very attentive and thorough in every aspect of the process. I quickly came to trust his attention to my health. He is kind and a great patient communicator."

Whatever amount of time you need with him....you have it. Never rushes. Answers all questions. Makes sure you understand in simple terms. A happy patient am i with Dr Desai......"
"Since day one Dr Desai has been amazing helping to get better when I was in the hospital as I sought his help when it was way past the time of preventative. He has been an awesome Dr and has gone out of his way to make sure I am taking care of myself. The entire staff at TDDC. are helpful and professional a great team."
"My experience was excellent. Dr. Desai is top notch and very personable and so were the staff. Everyone was very nice and gentle even with the needle placement for the IV. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The entire process was like a well oiled machine (no pun intended lol). They did not skip a beat. Everyone looked like they loved their jobs. I felt in great hands. They even had good music playing which made the atmosphere feel relaxed and not so “medical”. Thanks to all 😊"
"Just had a colonoscopy by Dr Desai yesterday and I was really nervous because I have been having issues. He made me feel confident and relaxed about the procedure. He has a great bedside manner and is great at what he does! Everything went very smoothly and just as he said. His whole staff was such a pleasure and so personable. He is my Dr for life! Highly recommend him if you need a superb gastroenterologist! Thank you for a great experience!"
"Dr. Desai is incredible. He takes the time to visit and listen , and discuss everything in a way you can understand. He truly takes his patients well being ,concerns and feelings o heart. All the staff in the office are great too and very helpful."
"Dr. Desai is excellent! All of the staff is wonderful! Dr. Ambit Desai, my GI doctor, is fantastic, brilliant, and has excellent manners that are lacking in our healthcare system today as eye contact is hardly made with doctors nowadays as they are coding and doing a lot more in the room instead of focusing on the patient. Dr. Desai and his front office support, nurses, medical assistants, and surgical staff deserve a five-star review! Make an appointment today and request Dr. Desi if you are open to learning about your health while allowing Dr. Desai to take the lead and not rush you. Most importantly, he explains all the facts to you via the portal, phone call, or in person, as he is very accommodating. Dr. Desai communicates timely and works alongside my colon rectal surgeon as both are equally involved in my healthcare treatment, sharing the same common goal, ensuring the patient's best interest painting a positive outcome, even if it crosses an extra box to double-check to be 100%."
"The staff could tell I was nervous and they were very kind and reassuring. Dr. Desai was also very kind he explained everything before and after the procedure making me feel at ease and clear of the results and expectations."
"Now obviously probably not many people want to give a referral for this sort of doctor, LOL.... However Dr Desai was top notch! Highly suggest you look at him further when having issues or need a checkup down there..😁😁😁"
"Friendly staff, extremely effective process.. I was out in few hours & did not feel anything. Dr Amit was compasion/pleasant & followed up after the procedure. Thank you.."
"Thankful my internist recommended Dr. Amit Desai for my GI care. Dr. Desai delivers quality, compassionate care in a professional manner. He is very knowledgeable in his field & he is able to explain procedures & recommendations in easily understood layman’s terms. Great care. Definitely recommend!"

"Attentive, caring, and genuine, Dr Desai, takes the time to explain everything and has the patience to answer all questions. He is straightforward, but not pushy. He was very helpful with all my issues. Thank you Dr Desai for your time and your help."
"Dr. Desai is just wonderful. If he sees something he doesn't like, he is looking into it just as fast as his staff can make an ERCP, fine needle aspiration of an organ OR an MRI happen. He has great bedside manner and is not arrogant whatsoever. If he feels like there is a better specialist for your situation, he will refer you immediately. I'm so fortunate to have found him for my rare disease. I love Dr. Desai!"
"Dr. Desai is so compassionate and caring. I've been seeing him since the beginning of the year and I've never met a physician that truly cares about how I'm doing. Thank you."
"One of the best Doc’s I met all year. We connected immediately after I saw that he worked at the hospital I was born in, in NYC and where my mom worked for 30 years. Very personable and professional."
"I was referred to Dr Desai by another Doctor. He said because of the procedure I needed that Dr Desai was the only doctor he trusted to do it. I went to my first appointment and I immediately felt in good hands and admired his knowledge and the time he spent with me. It has been like that for every procedure and test that I have had with him. I have referred my friends and family to him and everyone feels the same as I do."
"Doctor Desai is very, very professional. As a Medical Doctor in his area, he first did clinics...I truly recommended him and all his office staff.Well done!"
"Dr. Desai was very tentative to my needs as a new patient. I scheduled a procedure for a Tuesday a few weeks out recommended by another doctor and instead of just doing the procedure he wanted to actually meet and make sure nothing else was going on. He also helped with a billing issue and get it cleared up."
"From my time first meeting him when he provided care in early May through my visits over the months since, Dr. Desai genuinely seems caring in seeing me get well and is very pragmatic and logical in his approach to my care. I appreciate this common sense style coupled with his obvious expertise and knowledge on the subject Dr. Desai is also very personable and easy-going which is calming considering the circumstances, all the while being upfront and honest with where you are presently in your situation, what the goal is to get better, and how to try to achieve this goal as quickly as possible. Each visit ends with a recap of the game-plan so we’re both on the same page moving forward, much like a work team meeting. In my case, I’ve been fortunate with very positive results under his care. He also found and removed a pre-cancerous polyp during a procedure he recommended me having while I needed to be sedated for another I was already doing. This probably saved several thousand bucks if I had done them separately and it could have saved my life. I trust Dr. Desai. His goal is to see you get well and on your way and helps explain things in ways a layperson can understand. And he is patient with all your questions and is attentive. I highly recommend."
"Dr. Desai is such a well rounded doctor. He’s personable, understanding, non-intimidating, very knowledgeable, and really puts the patient first. He’s the best!"
"Last year I needed a specialist. I called around and he was the only doctor that would get me in right away. I'm so glad I came to him. He found the problem and fixed it right away. Wish all doctors were like him."
"Dr. Desai is an expert in his field! Last week, I had an upper endoscopy (EGD) performed. He answered all of my questions and reassured me every step of the way—making sure I was comfortable and at ease before, during, and after the procedure. Great bedside manner! I would recommend him to anyone seeking GI care. Dr. Desai along with his staff at TDDC Dallas-Presby have been wonderful to work with!"
"Dr. Desai was amazing! My diagnosis was extremely complicated. At the first indication of complications Dr. Desai immediately engaged a team at Texas Health Dallas including the Chief of Surgery, Oncologist, Internal Medicine, and Radiology. I ultimately ended up having life saving surgery which included removing part of my colon and small intestine. Dr. Desai’s leadership throughout the process was consistent, thorough, and caring!"
"Dr. Desai is knowledgeable and interested in the individual outcome, not a generalized approach and remedy. He asked how I felt and requested my medical records for comparison and research. Not only that, he explained and reassured me about every procedure and it’s outcome with patience. He helped me better understand issues that were unrelated to my stomach as well. I recommend him to anyone who wants straightforward answers and a sincere approach to their gut issues. I have felt better the last month than I’ve felt in a number of years and I am truly grateful for him!"
"Fast service, you dont have to wait long to be seen. Dr Desai does not rush, he takes his time with you. Dr Desai really cares for his patients. I give him 5 stars, he is the best!"
"My family and I couldn't have been more pleased with Dr. Desai. He was very helpful in diagnosing and treating my medical condition, and spent an inordinate amount of time explaining my condition to me. I come from a family of very involved daughters, and he was so patient with all of us. He is a thoughtful physician who always went above and beyond. He was always prompt in his response, and is truly a kind person. He was even so thorough as to involve other specialists in my care to ensure I had the correct diagnosis, and my procedure went seamlessly. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Desai to a friend or family member, and only have good things to say about him. I wish him success in his practice, and am sure he will continue to be a wonderful physician for many patients to come."
"Dr. Desai was exceptional and explaining what my issue was and provided very informative info on what I should do to resolved my GI issues. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for help in dealing with GI issues"
"Dr Desai was very pleasant and he explained what he was going to do and after testing he would go from there , he straight forward he was very nice , I am a new patient."
"Thank you for taking care of me through my hospital stay. Post hospital visits to his office was outstanding. I would recommend Dr. Desai to everyone."

"Very pleased with the care I received. From the virtual visit with the Dr. to the colonoscopy and recovery. All were professional, knowledgeable and respectful in every aspect of my medical needs."
"The doctor was running late because a patient had showed up for a procedure late; but the staff alerted me and offered to reschedule. I decided to stay and their estimate of when the doctor would be there was accurate! Much better than sitting there waiting with no explanation and no expected end."
"Dr. Desai is patient, kind, and intelligent. He has been very detailed and thorough with my care. The most important thing is that he looks at an issue from all sides."

He is also happy to answer any questions you might have. I will definitely be using him again and recommending him to friends and family."

I had never met him before, so I was pleasantly surprised. It’s nice to be fortunate enough to get a doctor that I liked instantly and one that made me feel comfortable."
"Dr Desai has the best bedside manner with his patients. My husband and myself have both experienced how much he really cares and wants to help his patients. I highly recommend him. The best ive seen in my lifetime. He saved me from a major surgery and i thank him greatly! Now my husband is under his care and we are greatly appreciative of him always!"

I am so thankful to have a caring doctor who does not make me feel embarrassed, and works hard to ensure I am comfortable discussing my health concerns with him. Thank you, Dr. Desai, for being kind and compassionate!"
"This visit was hard for me personally because due to pass experiences I have a hard time accepting new doctors. I have been known to refuse to go to certain doctors because of bad experiences. I have even called the doctor unfit due to my treatment. This one of the reasons I choose to come to Dallas for certain treatments. I found from this visit Dr. Desai made it easy for me to talk with him and not feel uncomfortable in talking about my condition. Thank you Dr. Desai for making my visit easy."
"I appreciate the fact that Doctor Amit Desai showed Compassion / Concern regarding the Digestive Issues that I was experiencing. Doctor Desai immediately began Procedures in order to find any Factors causing my problems. Doctor Desai is very Detailed in the steps needed in order to address / solve my Medical Issues.
