Dr. Desai grew up in Orlando, Florida and attended both undergraduate and medical school at the University of Miami. She completed her residency at the University of Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital which is also where she met her husband. They relocated to the area four years ago and have since had two children (both delivered by the Durham Women’s Clinic).

Dr. Desai has a special interest in international health, family planning and adolescent gynecology. She provides care for women in all phases of life from fertility planning to pregnancy and into menopause.

Dr. Desai and her family enjoy getting outside to go hiking. When they’re not exploring the outdoors they are exploring all of the hidden gems the Triangle has to offer. They also love to travel and hope to share their passion of travel with their kids.

Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for UWH of The Carolinas:

Cystocele Repair (Bladder Repair)

Dr. Almedia was very clear on what he was going to do during the operation and why he had to do it. Then was very clear on how important it was for me not to over do while waiting for my body to heal. He is a very friendly Dr. and makes his patient feel completely confident in him.
