I would highly recommend Dr Rajan Desai to anyone looking for cataract surgery. He recently did cataract surgery on my right eye and i am so very satisfied with the results. He is an excellent surgeon, compassionate, taking care to listen and address to all my concerns. Having had a bad experience elsewhere, in a different clinic, i am grateful i found Dr Rajan Desai. I could not be happier with the care i received here. The staff, the office is also excellent! Thank you!

Dr Desai is wonderful! I have narrow angles and was at risk for an acute glaucoma attack. for this issue it’s best to do an iridotomy as a precautionary measure to avoid having a serious glaucoma attack and possibly become blind. He performed an iridotomy in both my eyes. I’m so relieved that I don’t have to worry any more about possibly having a glaucoma attack! He bedside manner is wonderful, he’s a very nice honest doctor and I’m so happy I chose him to do this procedure with. I had no complications, it was very quick eas... read more

My husband who is in his eighties, had an eye injury. Due to that injury, he had glaucoma in that eye. After two surgeries and the use of drops, he was still experiencing glaucoma. His regular doctor advised that Dr. Desai had a new way of dealing with that problem, so we went to him. He told us that he had a relatively new procedure that would only take a few minutes to do. Helmy did the procedure and within 6 weeks the pressure in his eye was normal, with no side effects. We were very pleased with the level of care we rece... read more

I was treated with glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes. Dr. Desai performed surgery and did an OUTSTANDING JOB on both eyes. Now my vision is 20/20. I have encountered many doctors who I was very dissatisfied and disappointed. Dr. Desai showed a lot of empathy and gave me all the time to answer my questions and did not rush me. He showed concerns and treated me like a family Thank you for being that special person and I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND my family and friends to him. Dr. Desai went the extra mile in making you feel ... read more

Dr. Desai has been treating me in the Edison and Perth Amboy offices of Dr. Santa Maria for approximately one year due to high pressure in my right eye, with the pressure, at one time, reaching 50. When the drops did not help as much as he wanted, he performed a goniotomy in August 2018. When that did not produce the expected result he tried various drops to lower the pressure. Only when that did not work, did he insert an xen gel stent and prescribed different drops. My last visit on June 21, 2019, indicated a pressure of 1... read more

As a patient who is also a physician, I have a detailed list of expectation from a health care professional. Dr. R. Desai proves to me why he is one of "a few at the top" in his field, not only with superb ophthalmological knowledge and skills but interpersonal skills as well. Your patients are fortunate to be under your care. I am truly blessed to have been referred to you! I have already informed all family, friends, and colleagues about him.

I myself am a physician and have been seeing another ophthalmologist for years until the time came for my cataracts to come out. He said that though he could do the surgery himself, I would be in "better hands" if Dr. Desai performed the operation. At the initial consultation, Dr. Desai was thorough, explaining all the various options. I decided to proceed with laser-based cataract surgery with a bifocal implant that corrects both distance and near vision. I had zero pain, as he assured me before. Now, a week after surgery, ... read more

I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Desai. Having taken many types of drops for glaucoma for many years, Dr. Desai recommended the XEN implant, a fairly new surgery for glaucoma. He recently won an award for his skill in perfecting the surgery. I am now off all my drops. You won't find a more skilled and caring doctor than Dr. Desai!

Treated for glaucoma and cataracts in the left eye and cataracts in the right eye. Dr. Desai restored my right eye to very near 20/20 vision. I'm very pleased with the results.
