Dr. Deshmukh is a very professional and cares about his patients. He tells you what is happening and explains the next course of action. He allows the patient to make the final decision. I would never see another Orthopedic Doctor.
I can't thank you enough for giving me that life changing right shoulder replacement. I'm feeling just at 100 percent better. I'm recommending you to ALL of my family and friends. Your AWESOME Dr. D if I may address you in that manner. I can hardly wait to get my left rotator cuff repair. YOU'RE THE GREATEST!!!.
