Vishal Desai, MD, MBA

Gastroenterology

Practices In: Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Hinsdale, Lisle, Oakbrook Terrace
Patients Seen: Adults

My goal is to work with my patients in order to ade­quate­ly deliv­er high qual­i­ty med­ical care. I make it a point to keep my patients well informed, com­fort­able and engaged in their own treat­ment. Answer­ing ques­tions, address­ing con­cerns and hear­ing the opin­ions of my patients are para­mount. No one knows their own body and symp­toms more than the patient and that is how I con­duct my man­age­ment. I want to be a physi­cian that is approach­able and relat­able. I will always put my patients first.
