Very caring and listens
I was so surprised to have a call from doctor Deshmukh the night before my surgery. It made me feel cared for. Thank you Doctor D..
Dr. Deshmukh is the best in the business ! He performed knee replacement surgery, both sides, on me years ago. I would trust him with my life!
Dr.Deshmukh did my knee surgery and I’m progressing very well. He is great surgeon.
The wait time is unacceptable but he's a great physician.
Excellent bed side manner. Clearly an expert in his field. Didn’t rush direct to surgery without exploring all other options.
Surgery went well and so grateful for the call the night before.
Nice bedside manner. To the point.
Wait time of 2 hours past appointment time is disrespectful to me, and is unacceptable
This is MY DOCTOR! He is amazing. He comes in greats you very professionally, looks over you test results, listens to everything, he is kind, he is gentle. I would not want ANY OTHER Orthopedic Surgeon looking at me or doing my surgeries when needed. I had a RT Shoulder completely rebuilt 2 years ago. Very minimal pain, did not use my pain meds, followed my orders as he wrote them. I could not be any happier with MY DOCTOR DESHMUKH
