About This Provider

Dr. Chandni Desai holds both a medical degree (MD) and a dental degree (DDS), a credential combination that is rare among oral surgeons and positions her to treat the full spectrum of tumors affecting the mouth, jaw, and neck. Where most surgeons train in one discipline, Dr. Desai brings cancer biology and oral surgical anatomy together in a single clinician. She practices at the Oral Cancer Institute, a Chicago-area group recognized as leaders in oral cancer research and advocacy, with clinic locations in Chicago, Oak Lawn, and Munster, Indiana. The Institute's surgeons were among the first in the country to perform and publish on the Fibula Jaw in a Day technique, a procedure that rebuilds the jaw in a single operation rather than requiring multiple staged surgeries. Dr. Desai manages a wide range of conditions including oral cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, salivary gland tumors, rare jaw tumors, medication-related osteonecrosis, and thyroid cancer. Telemedicine consultations are available for patients who cannot travel to a clinic in person. The Oral Cancer Institute holds a 4.9-star rating across 42 patient reviews.
