Dr. Parag Desai is very knowledgeable and explained throughly the treatment approach to me. Giving me hope and comfort. I will definitely recommend this organization for any lung diseases to my friends and relatives .
Dr DeSai is wonderful. We switched to Temple Lung from a poor experience elsewhere. We were blessed to get Dr DeSai. He listens, rare these days and does not rush. Explains things so we understand. Very kind.
