He’s the BEST! Kind, cordial, so knowledgeable, uber competent. You’ll be so glad you chose him as your surgeon.
Explained procedure well. The doctor and his assistant were very nice
Dr. Deshmukh is a fabulous doctor. He takes such great care of his patients. He is very professional, kind and personable, He makes sure all your questions are answered and never seems rushed. I have recommended him to many people!
Outstanding and the most trusting
Dr Deshmukh is the best in every way.
Polite, professional, caring, informative and a nice guy
Never even met the man. He wanted me to take an x-ray even tho I already had an MRI on my shoulder that they took a couple of months ago. It was just a $$$ grab from my ins. Co. I never had a broken bone in my body ever. Now you tell me if you laid both the xray and MRI side by side which one would tell you more! .. Cancelled my appointment standing right then and there!
was a consult, very thorough, will see how surgery goes.
Really my concerns were heard this Dr takes time with you.
Very caring and professional.
