Other than the hour and 45 minute wait ( which I understand can’t be controlled sometimes) he is always professional and pleasant to deal with .
You cannot ask for a better orthopedic surgeon. A doc that truly and deeply cares for his patients.
Dr. Deshmukh is very thorough and professional. Both my wife and I have had medical contact with him for many years and have absolute confidence in his opinions and procedures.
After meeting with him once & him seeing xrays & comparison MRIs, he knew exactly what to do.he performed my knee surgery within a month & a half. I’m 3 months post-op & no more knee pain.
