What services do you want for Juan?

votes
I have a potential client for my non-profit company whose mother speaks only Spanish. I am trying to anticipate some questions for her.
My thought was: "¿Què servicios quiere usted por Juan?" The translator here gave three options: Mine + "...desea que.." + "desea..."
I understand that "desea" is "desire", and works as an alternative to "want". Would it be a more natural word to use in this context vs. "quiere"?
Lastly, do I use "desea/quiere que" or delete "que"?
Muchas gracias.

One more question - "para" vs "por"? - DR1960, Oct 1, 2009
roughly para is for and por means by - 00b83c38, Oct 1, 2009
