Mr Deshpande is an extremely capable cardiothoracic surgeon who has an engaging and professional "bedside manner". He went out of his way beforehand to explain the surgical procedure as well as the aftercare. After the surgery he was a frequent visitor to ICU and the Ward to check on my progress. Highly recommended!

Dear Mr Deshpande, Just a short note to express my appreciation for your care and expertise when you performed a mitral valve repair on me in January 2016. I met with my cardiologist, Malcolm Davidson this morning and he once again reiterated what an excellent job you had done. This prompted me to once again say thank you. My wife and I have moved back to Brisbane now and have become grandparents so life is good.
