Dr. NAUKA DESAI, MD | DPC Provider | DPC Directory
Family Medicine
About
Dr. Nauka Desai runs a small, old‑school medical practice where she answers her own phone and knows each patient by name. She believes that a direct relationship between doctor and patient is essential, so she offers 45‑minute appointments with no rushed visits, flat‑rate pricing, and follow‑up care via phone, text, or email. Her practice emphasizes face‑to‑face care, personalized attention, and transparency about costs, avoiding the complexities of insurance‑driven care.
Having worked many years in a Bronx clinic, Dr. Desai was frustrated by long wait times and impersonal care. She founded N Desai Direct Medical Care to provide honest, upfront pricing and to give patients the time and respect they deserve. She continues to focus on holistic, patient‑centered primary care, offering preventive services, chronic disease management, and urgent care within a concierge model.
