Best orthopedic doctor!
What a gift: a doctor who actually listens! He explained everything clearly, and created a treatment plan that gives me hope that the problem with my knees will be resolved.
This dr is not anyone .you will ever forget what he can do to put you back like you where young.walking ,an moving you arms an shoulders again he has options .an if you follow through.its enlightening. The results in the end ...
Very professional. Good bedside manners! Confidant, and I would and have recommended other patients rot him.
Thorough.
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.
Just wish the good Doctor didn't get his scheduled so far behind the appointment times. I'm sure there is good reason for such things but 90 minutes seemed a bit too much. The time he did spend with me was excellent though.
Excellent surgeon. Did my shoulder surgery with Dr. Deshmukh. Great work. Just did knee surgery one day ago. On my way to recovery. Thank you doctor
Dr Deshmukh has replaced two shoulders and monitored a deteriorating knee for years. He is a fine, caring and skilled doctor
