Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Dr. Amrita Desai is a hematologist/oncologist who treats leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. She specializes in cellular therapy and stem cell transplants, using stem cells from the patient’s own body (autologous) or a donor (allogeneic). 

Dr. Desai’s research focuses on: 

  • Lymphoma that recurs after treatment
  • Treatments to prepare patients for stem cell transplants
  • Therapies to prevent relapse and complications such as graft vs. host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplants

Dr. Desai enjoys working with and caring for patients during the toughest moments of their lives.  Being part of their journey and offering support and comfort affirms her belief in science, compassion and the resilience of the human spirit.

When she is not working, she loves to garden and spend time with her daughter and husband, cycling and going on hikes.
