New Confidence and a Working Nose!!!

I am writing this review a little over a week post op from a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty/Turbinate Reduction surgery. Dr. Desai and his team are incredibly talented and professional. From the initial consultation to my post operative appointment, Dr. Desai made patient care his priority. His expertise and attention to detail paid off; not only can I breathe properly through my nose, but I have a new found confidence! The cosmetic alterations were done exactly how I envisioned. I finally can look in the mirror and feel like myself again (I’ve been dreaming of this surgery for over 10 years!!) Lastly, the entire process was easy and reasonably priced, the hospital nurses and staff were nothing but helpful and professional, and I would absolutely recommend anyone to see Dr. Desai!

Gamechanging Experience

I broke my nose playing basketball in the second grade. The ER doctor reset the nose as best as he could, but I have had nasal breathing issues ever since. As I grew older, I just got used to it. I never fully realized the extent of the problem; I just figured that's how it was. Two months ago, I finally worked up the courage to go see an ENT and was subsequently referred to Dr. Desai and his team. A real life example of serendipity. At the initial consultation, Dr. Desai inspected my nose and diagnosed me with a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and nasal valve collapse. He explained each condition and outlined the options for moving forward. I also want to mention that I was reffered by another doctor in his office who I originally had the last appointment of the day on Friday, so Dr. Desai was sticking around late on a Friday to talk with me. So nice and greatly appreciated. I ended up waiting a month before I scheduled a septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and spreader grafts. The surgery was on a Wednesday morning at the outpatient center in the same building as Dr. Desai's office. I won't bore anyone with the specifics of the surgery or the recovery since this is a review of Dr. Desai and not the medical procedures themselves. Just know that everything they tell you is honest and true. Dr. Desai knows what he is doing. I am eight days out of surgery and I have never breathed so well in my entire life. The rest of his team was just as fantastic. They were knowledgeable, kind, professional, considerate, and empathetic. Special shout out to Sophie for being particularly awesome. She answered my numerous e-mail questions with responses in minutes. I could not have had a better experience with Dr. Desai and his team. If you are considering any of the procedures that are in his area of expertise, I highly recommend that you see him. You will not do any better than this group - true professionals.

Dr. Shaun C. Desai Has Changed my Life, I Can Breathe Now! - Bethesda, MD

Dr. Desai took the time to explain everything to me, every detail of the surgery was explained clearly. From the moment I met him at my first consultation I felt so comfortable which is very important when choosing your surgeon. He has always been so kind and showed that he truly cares for his patients. He has always taken the time to answer all my questions therefore I've never felt rushed with Dr. Desai. He did an excellent nose job, There are no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Desai and his staff . I wish I could give 100 stars. Thank you so much Dr. Shaun C. Desai and staff for helping me breathe great again!

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty. Bethesda, MD

I spent a very long time having issues breathing through my nose and met with Dr. Shaun Desai hoping he would be able to correct the issue. He was very attentive and thorough in his examination and within moments Dr. Desai knew what the problem was and recommended a path forward. On 21 March I had Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty surgery at Suburban Hospital. Suburban Hospital’s staff is very friendly, courteous and I had minimal wait time from check-in to surgery. Prior to surgery, Dr. Desai visited with my husband and me, making sure we had no concerns or unanswered questions. Post-surgery Dr. Desai continues to monitor my health, ensuring I’m healing well with no issues or complications. He is always very professional, patient and compassionate. I continue to see him for follow up appointments. Surgery was very successful and I’m breathing more comfortably. I would recommend Dr. Shaun Desai to my family and friends.

I often furrow my brow and make lines on my forehead. I wanted to use Botox to prevent formation of permanent, deep wrinkles. I have done Botox several times in the past, but wanted to find someone who was closer to my home. Dr. Desai came highly recommended and is part of the Johns Hopkins network.

Rhinoplasty Surgery. Bethesda, MD

I recently had a Rhinoplasty surgery done at Johns Hopkins outpatient center. My doctor was Dr. Shaun Desai. I met with Dr. Desai twice before deciding to go forth with the surgery. During consultations, Dr. Desai patiently answered all my questions and explained thoroughly the surgery procedures and benefits. He is very professional, informative, and very compassionate to what I had gone through. I never felt rushed in my appointments with him. On the day of surgery, Dr. Desai came to the nurses' station to make sure that I was comfortable and if I had any further questions before the surgery. The front desk staff is friendly and courteous with no excessive waiting time. The nurses are excellent, caring and efficient. Overall, I had a very good experience. I can breathe much easier now.

Broken Nose Playing Basketball. Correct Nasal Fracture - Bethesda, MD

Dr. Desai did a great job of restructuring my nasal fracture. From his team who checked me in, to the anesthesiologist, down to the procedure, him and his team did a fantastic job to make me feel comfortable when heading into a first time surgery. He gave me the necessary prescriptions post surgery to get back up and running again. Very professional and I wouldn't recommend any other doctor for such a procedure. Highly recommended if in the DMV area.

Great Botox Treatment DC/Bethesda

I'm 35 and over the last few years, I’ve noticed those fine lines on my forehead had become more obvious and I have those annoying 11 lines. I really wanted to find a surgeon in the DC-bethesda area, near where I work. I was very pleased to see that there was a Johns Hopkins facial plastic surgeon in the area. I met with Dr. Desai and was immediately impressed. His office is convenient to where I work, the staff are very pleasant, and he is great! I was really concerned about looking too frozen, but Dr. Desai did a fantastic job. He really understood what I was trying to achieve and made great recommendations. He performed a Botox treatment to my forehead and crows feet. It was painless with no bruising! I was able to go to work that same day without anyone noticing. I would highly recommend Dr. Desai, he is skilled and thoughtful. I intend to make another appointment for filler soon.

Female Desiring Less-prominent Frown Lines! Bethesda, MD

Working in a consumer-oriented profession, I need to present my "best face forward" at all times. Dr. Desai was very professional, friendly, and I felt very confident in his abilities. From the moment I arrived at his clinic, no detail was left to chance. From personally ensuring that my skin was appropriately anesthesized, to delicately administering the botox injection, it could not have been a more painless experience. Thanks to him, my frown lines are non-existent. I would always recommend him to everyone, including my family.
