About Dr. Desai-Markowski

Stuti Desai-Markowski, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon, at Lake Grove ENT in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Dr. Desai-Markowski (Dr. Desai) treats patients of all ages and provides high-quality and compassionate care.

Dr. Desai grew up in New Jersey, where she stayed to complete her undergraduate and medical education. She attended college at Rutgers University, obtaining a bachelor's in Cell Biology and Neuroscience. In 2017, she completed her MD at Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School.

While in medical school, Dr. Desai and her husband volunteered at a community medical center in Moshi, Tanzania.

In 2022, Dr. Desai completed her Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. During that time, she served a diverse adult and pediatric population at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Parkland Hospital, Dallas Children's Medical Center, and the North Texas VA Medical Center.

ENT initially attracted Dr. Desai due to the intricate, complex anatomy of the head and neck. However, her interest deepened as she learned how the specialty enables people to interact better with the world around them. Much of her career fulfillment comes from educating and empowering patients to understand their medical conditions better.

While Dr. Desai enjoys practicing the full scope of Otolaryngology, her professional passions are treating sinus disease, head and neck endocrine disease (thyroid, parathyroid, salivary gland), laryngology, and voice disorders. 

She is trained in minimally invasive endoscopic ear surgery and the latest techniques in sleep surgery, including the Inspire implant. 

Outside of work, Dr. Desai enjoys savoring the small pleasures in life with her loved ones. You are most likely to find her out for a day hike, on a rock wall, exploring the Portland food scene, attending a concert, hosting a dinner party, or curled up on the couch with a book alongside her husband and two kittens.
