Successful hip replacement
I highly recommend Dr. Deshmukh and the NYU langone staff. I had my left hip replacement surgery on January 22 and am currently pain free and have resumed all activities. He is very caring and knowledgeable and an excellent surgeon. The pre and post op physical therapy is must to regain total mobility. I was apprehensive at first but now believe it is one of my best decisions to have had the surgery.

Excellent HIP replacement Surgeon
Dr. Deshmukh is a consummate professional. He calmed my fears regarding the surgery. He took the time to explain the entire process both pre and post op. He is kind, caring and takes the time to answer any question. He called me a few days before the surgery to give me that added reassurance. I highly recommend him.

Excellent Knee Surgeon
Dr. Deshmuck is a highly skilled doctor who truly embodies his motto of “desire to minimize patients’ pain and suffering.” My father underwent a knee replacement surgery this past July, and I can’t emphasize enough how meticulous Dr. Deshmuck was in handling my father’s case. His staff was incredibly supportive as well. Thanks to their care and dedication, my dad has been given another chance to live pain-free.

Total knee replacement
After two failed private sector surgeries, Dr. Deshmukh at the VA NY Harbor Healthcare SystemDr. Deshmukh was able to save my leg by doing a total replacement. After two failed knee surgeries one replacement and one revision surgery. He saved my left knee I didn't think I would ever walk again.After knee replacement today I am able to walk again I am very thankful I would highly recommend Dr. Deshmukh. He was attentive, thorough, and made sure I understood my surgery and treatment options. I would definitely recommend anyone who may need knee surgery to Dr. Deshmukh MD.

An amazing choice and persona - you won’t regret!
We got recommend and at the same time we wanted another opinion. Dr. Deshmukh from the start was very welcoming and paid attention to every worry and questions we had since it was for a second knee replacement since the first failed. He gave details for all outcomes and didn’t pressure us in having us decide on the spot such as a prior experience we had with a different surgeon that we weren’t happy with. He gave us confidence in his capabilities and honesty about the circumstances which led us to trust to proceed with the surgery. So far it’s been a success in recovery and therapy. There has been much more improvement that we could have ever asked for and surpassed the outcomes Dr.Deshmukh informed us about which truly is a blessing. He’s a caring surgeon that cares for his patients and progress.

My visit was good. I just had my second knee replacement. Dr Deshmukh is a fine doctor. He explains everything. And I wasn’t nervous about the surgery. Because I saw him before for my right knee replacement. I would tell any one who need knee surgery. I would send them to see him at NYU.

Excellent Orthopedic Surgeon
When I met Dr. Deshmukh for my hip initial examination for hip replacement he was very thorough immediately which put me at ease. I had been very worried about some changes in my body, and Dr. Deshmukh assured me, and is absolutely right that after my hip replacement I'd return to my normal stance measurement. I recommend Dr. Deshmukh for hip replacement, absolutely. My scar is minimal and I walked 100 feet and up and down 5 stairs the next day from his surgery on me 6 p.m. the day before. I am amazed I know it is due to his level of excellence in surgical procedure. Highly recommend Dr. Deshmukh

Dr. Ajit Deshmukh, is Selfless, generous, humble, extremely knowledgeable, very detailed oriented and thorough about the total hip surgery, very responsive. Dr. Ajit Deshmukh not only provides you with every detail and outcome, he makes you feel like nothing could possibly go wrong. I walked out of the hospital feeling great and the followup visit even better, I was completely mobile immediately after the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Ajit Deshmukh to anyone who needed total hip or knee replacement surgery.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Deshmukh is such a caring, knowledgeable, and professional doctor. I was referred to him for a knee replacement surgery and he went above and beyond to answer all of my concerns. His team communicated very well with the different doctors working on my case. The surgery went well without complications and that same night he called me personally to see how I was doing and let me know more about my follow up care. I was completely impressed. Dr. Deshmukh reminds me of old-fashioned doctor-patient communication that is lost in today's rushed society. I highly recommend this doctor not just for his excellent skills and knowledge, but also his dedication to each patient's well-being.

THE BEST
Dr. Ajit Deshmukh is an outstanding doctor and human being. He recently replaced my right hip and the entire process was flawless. After three months I am completely back to my normal life. He and his team were attentive at every step of the way, communicating speedily with me whenever I had a question or request. What meant the most to me was his kind personal regard for me, from the thorough explanation of every phase at our first meeting to phone check-ins and in-hospital visits to reassure me before and after the operation. In today’s medical world, he is one in a million.

One of the best if not the best hip surgeon
Run don’t walk to see Dr. Deshmukh. Well if you can run that is. He is one of the top hip surgeons in New York City. If not the whole country I have had both my hips replaced and it was a great experience. I am 100% pain-free and I highly recommend, Dr. Deshmukh

Dr. Deshmukh brought me back to life!
Telehealth
On January 1, 2023, I fell down at work, breaking my right hip and injuring my right leg. I received a hip replacement the following day. My surgeon informed me everything was going smoothly. I saw him every two months, each time complaining of the severe pain in my right leg. All he would say was 'Give it a year.' The first six months I was using a walker then graduating to a cane. I was a prisoner in my home, having no desire to be around people, in my condition.Then my GIFT FROM HEAVEN arrived. I consulted Dr Deshmukh. He explained thoroughly how the inserted STEM was incorrect and was the culprit of my agony. He said I had to have another surgery.On April 3, 2024, Dr Dishmukh inserted a new STEM. I could feel the difference the next day. Every day I felt better and better. He changed my life. I feel reborn. I am more than confident that I will be rid of my cane completely in the next week or two.I just thank God for giving me Dr. Deshmukh. He is the best!

VERY IMPRESSED
VERY IMPRESSEDWhat stood out about Dr. Deshmukh is his compassion and the way he eased my anxiety regarding my knee replacement surgery. He explained the process of the surgery from beginning to end. My wife told me that he did something that no other doctors did for their patient’s family. After the surgery he came out to her in the waiting area to let her know that the surgery went well and I was in recovery and someone will come to let her know when I was ready to get visitors. She said that, that alone would make her refer him (which she did, to a coworker’s friend) to anyone that needs a Orthopedic Surgeon.

Knee Replacement - Best Doctor!
I recently underwent a knee replacement surgery performed by Dr. Ajit Deshmukh, and I must express my utmost gratitude and satisfaction for the expercational care and expertise provided by him and his dedicated staff. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Deshmukh's professionalism and compassion were evident throughout every step of the process. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and ensured I felt confident and well-informed before proceeding. His depth of knowledge and experience in orthopedic surgery instilled a sense of trust and reassurance, making me feel in capable hands from the outset. The surgery itself was a success, thanks to Dr. Deshmukh's precise surgical skills and attention to detail. He personalized my treatment plan based on my specific needs, optimizing the outcome and promoting a swift recovery. His expertise was truly evident in the seamless execution of the procedure and reduced pain post surgery
