Great bedside manner. Informative and i felt all questions and concerns were addressed. His call night prior to surgery really put me at ease. I am a retired RN, when doctors do that little extra it means so much. Highly recommend without any reservations.

Seems very knowledgeable, nice to his patients and very caring. At this point (my first appointment with him) I would recommend him to anyone with knee issues.

Super impressed with Dr. Deshmukh. He's completely thorough, and took his time in explaining everything related to my injury. This takes a little time. Just be patient. He's well worth the wait.

Pleasant personality, spoke clearly and explained what was on the X-ray. Told me what the plan of action was to be and didn’t hurry out before my questions were answered.
