Dr Deshmukh has replaced two shoulders and monitored a deteriorating knee for years. He is a fine, caring and skilled doctor
My appointment was at 8:50 am but I did not see the doctor until 10:20 am with no apology. Doc did a good exam and ordered tests but thinks I overdid walking.
Best doctor, know exactly what is wrong with me.
very thorough and professional. Took great care with my problem.
One of the best doctors you can have!
I truly appreciate my visit to Dr Deshmukh's clinic. Upon entering the clinic room he was wearing his sweetest smile as he greeted, making me feel relaxed and and comfortable. Then, he patiently took the time to thoroughly check and explain the condition of my fractured left leg, including the treatment options. He and his staff nurse really helped me feel informed and empowered about my health condition. His recommended brace and arch support makes me more comfortable. I felt the genuine compassionate care.
Only the best!!!’
Such a very nice and mild mannered person. I feel very comfortable in your office.
Excellent surgeon who actually cares about his patient, takes time to listen and answer all questions! I highly recommend him.
Just the best! He and his specific team are spectacular. Professional and also courteous. Truly listened to me and didn’t make me feel rushed. I initially saw a different doctor at the same office who referred me to the “trauma team” in Riverside and felt rushed and pushed aside there but not with Dr Deshmukh and Brian Tardiff. They have been nothing less than great
