I am a new patient. Dr DESHMUKH came highly recommended by friends in the medical field. First impression is great. Introduced himself and staff. Listened to my concerns regarding pain associated with knee. Reviewed imaging and evaluated injury. Set a course for care that hopefully will resolve on its own over time. Happy with consultation and will follow up.

Dr Deshmukh replaced both my knees (total knee arthroplasty) seven weeks apart. I had limited mobility due to severe arthritis, bone-on-bone and chronic ACL tears. ‘Dr Desh’ and his invaluable PAC, Ryan Sutton, worked successfully with me over for a two year period with gel injections, rehab, braces and other tools leading up to the eventual surgery. I cannot say enough about his integrity, personal manner, and professional skills. I would and have recommended them both and SOS to everyone based on my personal experience.
