Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Shoulder repair
I find that Dr Deshmukh is very reliable, detailed, knowledgeable, and extremely competent on providing information on your injuries. He is very informative of your injuries, approach on surgery repair, informative on what he repaired and detailed on what is needed for recovery. I had a major rotator cuff surgery with tears throughout my shoulder, bicep, spurs, arthritis. He showed me before and after results including 4 anchors. I’m in my 3rd month of recovery and getting ready to get back to normal activities. Excellent Doctor and Surgeon.

Exceptional!
Dr. Deshmukh is one of those doctors that sends his patients off feeling informed, relieved and hopeful. I can't say how grateful I am to be lucky enough to have him as my doctor!

I am very likely to recommend Dr. Deshmukh
Dr. Deshmukh was very kind, extremely professional and very thorough with his assessment. He communicated his findings and set me up with a second mri and did not leave until he was confident that I had understood everything. My only complaint is that it took two months for an appointment.

Good visit
There was a long wait, but when i was finally seen Dr. Desmukh didn't seem rushed and listened to the problems with my knee. I felt he was easy to talk with and was very thorough with reviewing plans for knee surgery.

New Shoulder-No Pain!
Follow up visit: It's been almost 6 months since Dr. Deshmukh replaced my completely worn out, arthritic shoulder, and I can say the result has been fantastic. The chronic pain is gone, almost full range of motion has been restored, and I keep getting stronger every day as I return to my normal activities. The surgery experience was excellent. I had very little discomfort and was able to manage the post-surgical pain very well. Physical therapy was an important part of my recovery, which was handled by the superb PT staff (Patrick). I probably waited too long to have this procedure done, looking back now at how much suffering I was experiencing. Would recommend Dr. Deshmukh in a hearbeat!
