Dr Deshpande explained in detail the diagnosis and also the review by the MDT team which reaffirmed the treatment plan and I felt confident dealing with Dr Deshpande. He was always listening and clarified any questions which we had as a family before and after the surgery.

Mr Deshpande is my NHS consultant and has been reviewing my heart for two to three years before recommending heart surgery last summer, with a follow up in November when I agreed to open heart surgery. As an operation under the NHS might be some time, I suggested I went private and had open heart surgery in the Cleveland Hospital undertaken by Mr Deshpande on 18th January with two heart valves replaced and one repaired. A few days later I had a pacemaker inserted and left hospital after a total of 7 days.
I was apprehensive about the operation but reassured by Mr Deshpande's calm and professional approach and agreed with him that the experience was less bad than I had anticipated. Mr Deshpande and his surgical team were highly professional and Cleveland Hospital provided a very high standard of after-care. I would recommend Mr Deshpande very highly to anyone like me who is nervous about similar operations.
Very highly recommended!
