Primary Care

“Pleasure in the job brings perfection in the work.”

Born in a family with strong roots to the field of medicine, I wanted to be a physician from a very young age. I spent my childhood traveling between the United States and India, graduating high school and finishing medical school from India. After completing medical school, I moved to the United States with a goal of pursuing my career as a physician in 2012. I finished my internship and residency training in California in 2017. I worked as an independent provider with a primary care group based in Redlands, CA and as a part-time hospitalist with Dignity Health in San Bernardino, CA from 2017-2021. With the aim to provide integrated and value-based healthcare, I established Desai Medical Group & Behavioral Health in 2021. The core principle at Desai Medical Group & Behavioral Health is to adopt a “Whole Person Care” approach by integrating Primary Care and Behavioral Health. When I am not working, I like spending time with my family, reading, watching movies, traveling and exploring new places.
