Mr Rajesh R Deshmukh, Consultant Eye Surgeon. Reviews 

I saw Mr Deshmukh at BishopsWoodHospital,Northwood.He patiently explained exactly what the proceedure would entail
for removing cateracts from both eyes. I confess I was nervous at the prospect of surgery on my eyes but Mr Deshmukh reassured me with his calm pleasant manner which inspired confidence.
In the event, the operations were carried out within weeks and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing cateract surgery.

This clinic offers amazing care from professionals that are helpful as well as kind. The whole team, from the receptionist so the doctors are nice and make sure that you feel welcomed and happy while at the clinic.

The appointments are very well arranged and you will be seen withing a few days if necessary. Cannot complain

Mr Deshmukh kindly saw me at very short notice when I needed an urgent intravitreal injection of Eylea. He was knowledgeable and understanding. The procedure was expertly performed, and I am most grateful for his help.

I had almost lost vision in my right eye due to a mature cataract. I approached Dr Rajesh Deshmukh in Moorfields Private Hospital. Dr. Deshmukh explained the diagnosis and the procedure for the cataract surgery. Dr. Deshmukh reassured me that there was nothing to worry in his calm demeanour. His secretary Fatima is very efficient and arranged for the earliest available surgery. Fatima is professional and was always available for our queries. Dr. Deshmukh meticulously performed the surgery without any pain under local anaesthesia. The nurses at Moorfields are excellent. I was really impressed by the level of care I received on the day of the surgery. I am happy that I was able to see properly once again and celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights with proper vision. I am glad to have made the decision to get my cataract operated by Dr. Deshmukh. I will strongly recommend Dr Deshmukh to anyone looking for a hassle free cataract surgery.

I am very pleased with the result of my cataract operations carried out by Dr Raj Deshmukh (Raj).

I am very shortsighted. Also my left eye had been impaired by a haemorrhage on the retina which destroyed the centre of vision, so I only have peripheral vision in that eye. Added to that, because I am 77 the retinas show signs of wear and tear. I was also extremely nervous of having the operations. So mine was not a straightforward case.

Somehow Raj helped me to be calm, and I was able to be a cooperative patient for him during the operation. Through his skill he was able to restore perfect vision to my right eye, and to improve the vision in my left eye enough so that it wasn't obscuring the vision in the right.

I am a visual person, a painter, and my vision is my life. I have been delightedly looking at everything I can see around me since the operation. Recently I was thrilled to see an exhibition of Titians' paintings at the National Gallery very clearly. I am also able to see my own paintings very well now, with all their flaws, and am more able to work on them.

I am so thankful to Raj for his skillful work and his kindness. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a surgeon.

With coronavirus causing a huge strain on the NHS I approached Moorfields Private Eye Hospital when I felt my cataract was really beginning to interfere with day-to-day living. I was very quickly booked in for an examination and consultation with Mr Deshmukh. His friendly, professional manner meant I was very relaxed about the prospect of surgery which followed just a few days after the initial consultation. I have been extremely satisfied with his treatment. He was never rushed and always listened carefully to what I had to say. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Deshmukh to anyone needing cataract surgery.

Mr Deshmukh performed cataract surgery for both my eyes during August and September this year. During consultations and surgery he took time to carefully explain the whole process very clearly to me, which gave me a lot of confidence and allayed any fears I had about the procedure. As a result, I was very relaxed during surgery and confident in Mr Desmukh and his team’s abilities.

Almost immediately after the operations I had my full vision back. My eyesight is now as good as it was in my younger days! I am thrilled with the results and thoroughly recommend Mr Deshmukh to anyone considering eye surgery.

Mr Deshmukh is an excellent consultant. He always has time for his patients. He and his team work very well together at Darent Valley Hospital. Shame Moorfield is closing down at Darent Valley Hospital. I am sure all his patients will miss him and his team.

My experience in Moorfields eye clinic was on the whole a very pleasant one from the reception to preliminary tests and examinations from the anaesthetist and nurses was smply great !
On the day of the surgery my anxiety continued to heighten and then came along Mr. Rajesh Deshmukh in a very calm and gentle voice and explained to me what he's going to do. He asked me just to keep my eyes open and I felt relaxed instantly by his manner and I knew I was in good hands.
I felt calm throughout the procedure had no pain and would recommend Mr Rajesh Deshmukh to all. I got my sight back and can see all the cobwebs in my house!!

I had cataract surgery in 2018 in my right eye. Unfortunately over the past few months I noticed my vision in this eye was deteriorating again. I had an appointment with Dr Deshmukh and he diagnosed dense posterior capsular opacification. Sounds dreadful! But he told me he could fix it in two minutes with laser treatment. So we arranged another appointment and true to his word, it did take only two minutes! He has a great manner with patients and explains everything very carefully. I highly recommend Rajesh. Now I am arranging for my left eye cataract to also be treated by him.

I was sad and frightened when I was discovered to be totally blind on left eye due to mature cataract.I met up with DR Deshmukh following appointment.As he examined my eyes he explained the procedure in detail and spoke about need for surgery .His soft words gave me confidence that I was in the right hands.He operated on my left bad eye and I could see as soon as I left theatre table.The procedure was not traumatic as I had expected .I was so relieved that I had been given a second chance in life to appreciate the world around me .I had subsequent surgery to right eye .All went well and has been well .Thank you so much for restoring my sight .I have regained
my confidence and will recommend you to any of my friends with similar eye problems .

I had a consultation re my cataract with Rajesh Deshmukh very recently. I cannot recommend him enough - he performs over 1,000 procedures a year. He was meticulous in both his examination and discussion of possible complications due to the prostate drug I was taking. The cataract procedure was performed last Monday at Bishops Wood with the same meticulous approach and instructions for aftercare from him and his team. I cannot believe the result. The world is a very bright place and colours so vivid! Just a few days now before I am back on the golf course!!

I had a very successful cataract operation with Dr Rajesh. He is got very good patient care. During the operation he talked to me throughout although I was half asleep and put music for me in the background because I was very nervous but the music calmed me down. He is got magic hands as well!! When one eye was successfully done I was called in to have the second one done and asked the nurse if Dr Rajesh was going to do it and she said yes and I was very pleased. My vision is now clear in both eyes

Dr.Rajesh R Deshmukh is a wonderful eye surgeon. I developed cataracts.My vision in right eye was very poor.That eye had an injury in my childhood.I consulted several eye surgeons. They told me that I might not get full correction after operation as the right eye already had an anatomical problem.
Dr.Rajesh explained everything and did my cataract surgery.I got complete correction of my vision in my right eye.Now I am looking forward to surgery in my other eye.
I am sure he can help many like me with his experience and compassionate approach.
