About Dr. Desai

A family doctor who looks at the whole person

Dipali A. Desai, MD, is a board certified family physician who cares for adult and geriatric patients in both hospital and office settings. Her work centres on the long conditions that shape daily life: diabetes, congestive heart failure and high blood pressure, along with routine physicals and preventive wellness.

She is also certified in integrative psychiatry by the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, and she brings that training into ordinary family medicine, so that a patient's mental health is treated alongside the physical picture rather than separately from it.

She practises at UH Southwest Internal Medicine in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, and speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi.
