Mr Rajesh R Deshmukh, Consultant Eye Surgeon. Reviews 

Mr Deshmukh and Bishops Wood Hospital were great. Professional and courteous in every department. I highly recommend both. Mr D's choice of lens was perfect, my eyesight is now also perfect!

I can 100% recommend Mr. Rajesh Deshmukh for eye surgery. Mr. Deshmukh performed a cataract operation on my right eye during March 2024 and on my left eye eleven weeks later. In each case, it would have been possible to drive within two days after the operation. I drove after six days, as I do not drive every day. I can now read a car number plate at 63 metres. His whole medical team was very good at reducing my anxiety prior to the operations, which were painless. In each case, I would not have known that my eye had undergone an operation, other than the effects of the pupil dilation drops taking a full 24 hours to completely diminish. Before the operation, my eyes exceeded the legal requirement for driving, but the possibility of not being able to drive in the future was never going to be acceptable to me. I believe we forget how good our eyes once were, as changes happen very slowly over a very long time-period.

I went in to see Mr. Deshmukh for YAG surgery virtually blind in my left eye and left with perfect vision. Amazing! And all in the space of a couple of hours... Highly recommended!

On arrival, was received and attended to promptly and respectfully. Each & every member of the staff was friendly, caring, helpful & courteous all the way through to the operating theatre and beyond. The surgeon made you feel confident and the procedure was comfortable and pain free.

I recently underwent cataract surgery with Mr. Deshmukh, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As someone with very high myopia (-10.25 dioptres) from childhood, my vision was a constant challenge. Glasses and contact lenses were my companions, and the world often appeared blurry.
From my initial assessment, Mr. Deshmukh’s professionalism and kindness were evident. He took the time to understand my unique situation. His thorough explanations allowed me to make an informed decision. Opting for bilateral surgery with EDOF lenses was a significant step, and Mr. Deshmukh guided me through the process with care.
The outcome exceeded my expectations—both my long and short vision are excellent. After years of visual limitations, I now enjoy a brighter world with remarkable clarity.
Thank you, Mr. Deshmukh, for your skill and expertise. You’ve made a profound impact on my quality of life.

From my first appointment with Mr Deshmukh for cataract assessment, I felt confident in deciding to proceed with surgery. The options and benefits were fully explained to me for consideration, and my choice for a bilateral procedure with EDOF lenses was definitely right for me. My trust in his skills extended to the surgery and I felt comfortable throughout, and during my recovery. The outcome was far better than I could imagine, and both my long and short vision are excellent. After years of wearing contact lenses and specs, I now need neither and my world is brighter with depth of clarity, thanks to Mr Deshmukh

Mr Deshmukh was kind, helpful and reassuring. I was terrified but had a very positive experience. Thank you

I guess like most people about to undergo cataract surgery I was just a little trepidatious as I walked into Moorfields back in January. I was told the operation on both eyes would be relatively simple and completely painless but even so, lurking in the brain were fears of lasers, scalpels and who knew what other implements of torture all coming for my eyeballs. When I walked out again a couple of hours later, the world was transformed. Everything was brighter and shinier and the next morning when I opened the paper I could read faultlessly without glasses for the first time in 15 years. So what about the "horrors" of the operation? I should have believed what I had been told by Mr Deshmukh: there was no pain, no discomfort even, just 40 minutes or so lying on my back while fuzzy images of him and his team transformed my life. A month later I am only just starting to get a little blase about that transformation. The world is back in focus and I cannot thank Mr Deshmukh enough nor praise him sufficiently for his skill and expertise.

My wife and I had our initial consultation with Mr Rajesh Deshmukh couple of weeks back and with his advice, expert counselling, and suggestion we accepted and agreed to go ahead with bilateral cataract surgery the following week.
Mr Deshmukh undertook the procedure of our cataract eye surgery (both eyes) few days after the consultation with exceptional care, professionalism and skill and implanted the best premium lenses.
I would recommend sedation on top of the anaesthetic as although the procedure is painless it helps to be completely relaxed.
My wife and I are delighted with the results, the surgery and process were quick, painless, and saved us the trouble of having to schedule two procedures for each eye separately.
The treatment has improved quality of our life, with clear, improved vision and trust it will be freedom from wearing glasses.
Our massive thank you to the support Nurses, and gratitude for the exceptional care and skill demonstrated by Mr Deshmukh.
Both my wife and I highly recommend Mr Rajesh Deshmukh and his team.

I was delighted with the lens replacement procedure carried out by Mr Deshmukh three weeks ago. I had worn contact lenses for 45 years but three years ago, in my early 60's, had to abandon them for glasses, on which I was completely dependent. Now I only need to wear +1 glasses for reading the smallest print (eg ingredient lists on food packets). I had both eyes done on the same day which was easy and convenient and was back at work the following afternoon. The procedure itself was completed within about 45 minutes and all the staff were kind, supportive and helpful. I would recommend sedation on top of the anaesthetic as although the procedure is painless it helps to be completely relaxed.

my wife recently had the opportunity to visit Mr Deshmukh for a rather unique procedure .To say I was initially worried would be an understatement ,as he informed us that he would be performing laser treatment on one eye and cataract surgery on the other eye .all on the same day.However ,we are delighted to say that he has done a brilliant job, exceeding all our expectations
One of the standout aspects of our experiance with Mr Deshmukh was his expertise in advising us on the best lens for my left eye,which has resulted in a significant improvement in my vision.We are thrilled to share that My wife no longer require glasses.Thanks to his insightful recommention
Overall ,we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and skill demonstrated by Mr Deshmukh The successful outcome of the laser treatment and cataract surgery, coupled with the improved vision ,has truly transferred my quality of life

As practicing Gp I was looking for practical and effective cataract operation with my previous history of retinal detachments and lasik eye surgery.
Mr Deshmukh undertook my cataract surgery with greatest care and expertise,counselling me about the best premium lenses and undertaking the procedure at a time suitable for me and expertly undertaking cataract operation on both eyes.
I cannot recommend him enough.

We Bad a bumpy Ride. But I knew that I was in good hands and felt complete trust !months after my 2 surgeries, dry macular degeneration, cataracts, insertion of special lenses, now finally feeling so much better ! Thank you, Mr. Deshmuk for taking such good care of me !

Excellent communication, appeared very skilled and knowledgeable at laser treatment and following up earlier surgery

Dr Deshmukh and his team provided excellent eye healthcare. Appointments were easily made, once in the practice everything ran efficiently and on time with friendly and competent nurses. Dr Dashmuck performed an extensive investigation, explained his diagnosis and proposed treatment clearly, and the follow up superb. Overall an outstanding experience.

My Mum is 96 years of age. Her Eye sight had deteriorated significantly, limiting her for reading. We decided to go ahead with the Bilateral cataract surgery. Mr Deshmukh made the procedure so painless and explained what to expect, he put Mum at ease who was a little nervous. There were no complications and Mum had immediate improved vision, amazing! All eye sight back to normal so quickly.
Would highly recommend this surgery and the surgeon. It has given Mum a new lease of life with her reading and all.

We had plenty of time to discuss options, treatments & then outcomes, both pre & post surgery

I had bilateral cataract surgery two months ago, and have been delighted with the results. Mr Rajesh Deshmukh implanted trifocal lenses (both at the same time), with the result that I no longer need to wear glasses. Although I was initially slightly nervous about doing both eyes at once, the process was quick and painless, and saved the trouble of having to schedule two procedures. I can thoroughly recommend Mr Deshmukh and his team.

Me Deshmukh explained every step of the procedure in clear ,simple language . His manner was encouraging and put me at ease . The results are amazing .

My mum recently had her Cataract surgery for both her eyes done with Dr. Raj, the experience was incredible. My mum was very anxious and Dr. Raj was humble and supportive throughout the entire process. His communication was very effective, ensuring Mum understood what was happening despite the language barrier. Both the surgeries were a great success and my mum did not experience any pain with either of the surgeries and has made a significant good improvement in her vision. My mum had suffered a stroke which resulted in her right eye being lazy and hence having poorer vision in her right eye (6/24), she noticed good improvement in her vision shortly after the surgery where she could see clearer and sharper. The vision in the left eye has improved significantly going from 6/18 to 6/7.5.
I would definitely recommend Dr.Raj for cataract surgeries as he is not only very professional but also very highly skilled and treats his patients very well. Mum feels extremely blessed to have had Dr. Raj for her cataract surgery.
