Patients praise his expertise in mitral valve repair and replacement, and other complex cardiac care. His work also commonly involves heart bypass surgery, minimally invasive heart procedures, and artificial heart valve operations.
Very well explained and took the time with us to make sure our questions were answered
A great result and a new lease of life for me. First class organisation and treatment to iron out a minor setbacks following surgery. Immense skill along with a very reassuring and cheerful manner. Liz Deane also went above and beyond sorting out appointments and ridiculous medical insurance issues.
What can I say? He repaired my heart with a degree of flair and panache that every patient deserves.
Happily explained what my drugs were for and set a plan to gradually reduce my reliance on them and pass the information on to my NHS cardiologist.
I had total confidence in the advice given by Mr. Deshpande prior to the surgery and I don't think I could have had better treatment anywhere in the country.
Clearly a leader in his field, he initiated actions as required, was highly empathetic and encouraging. He called on other specialists where appropriate and filled me with confidence that I would be fine, although facing the most challenging health scare of my life.
I am deeply thankful for the excellent care I received during my mitral heart valve replacement surgery by Mr. Ranjit Deshpande. He is highly skilled, caring professional & reassuring throughout the entire process. My surgery went very well & recovery has been positive too. I would strongly recommend Mr Ranjit Deshpande as a surgeon in a heart beat !!
Mr Ranjit was fantastic. His explanation of my heart defect was very informative. I felt at ease and confident that Mr Ranjit is the right surgeon for my operation.
Mr Deshpande is not only an excellent surgeron but has a relaxing manner and explains everything very well. i have had a rapid recovery from a minimally invasive mitral valve replacment and back to normal in only a few weeks
