Dr. Deshmukh was very thorough and patient with my first evaluation for shoulder pain. I am sure the treatments that were suggested will give me some relief.

i waited nearly 2 hours to be seen!!!

When I arrived, I was informed there was a 2 hour wait. I set this appointment weeks ago…specifically with Dr Deshmukh, and was shocked to hear “2 hours.” On my end, I rescheduled a staff meeting and literally “flew” to be on time for the appointment. If I would have received a courtesy call or text, telling me of the 2hour delay, I could have accomplished some additional tasks in my office. I would be very hesitate to schedule another appointment and have this happen again. BTW…he did my shoulder years ago, that’s why I came back for my knee. Courtesy calls/texts should be considered. Thanks for hearing me out…and thank you to your office manager for listening today, too.
