Bhavim Desai, MD

Triple Board-Certified — Family, Sleep & Obesity Medicine

Dr. Desai combines a rare breadth of expertise across sleep, primary care, and metabolic health, drawing on training from a sleep medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson — where he gained extensive experience with sleep disorders well beyond the more common sleep apnea and insomnia.

His clinical focus spans the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, the connection between sleep and metabolic disease, and expanding access to care through home testing and telemedicine — bringing emerging, evidence-based therapies to patients across Central Texas.
