I was very happy with my infectious disease doctor. I will be consulting him more often. I saw him five years ago. When I came in, he already looked at my review, my chart. It was just wonderful to have a doctor that you sit down with who already understands everything about you and who can will send you in the right direction. So I'm telling you, I'm more than pleased and I'm thinking of moving all my doctors up to Hackensack. All right, thank you, goodbye.

DR. SAMIT DESAI actually took off my dressings to address my major concern, unlike the doctor who did the rounds while I was in the hospital. Dr. Desai was extremely thorough, and put my concerns to rest. He is by far, a credit to the HUMC.
