Good communication answer all my concerns
Dr. Deshmukh is a very good surgeon. He recently performed surgery on my shoulder to repair a torn rotator cuff and bicep tendon. He was very informative about the procedure and recovery process. He is always pleasant and professional and has excellent bedside manner.
