Suhasini Deshmukh, MD

Dr. Deshmukh and her assistant, Adriana, are great. I never have any trouble being seen promptly and on short notice. Dr. Deshmukh is great about listening to my issues and working with me to correct them. When I was a poor college student, she made sure I got sample medication whenever possible. She never gives me any grief about referring me to a specialist when I ask her to, which I know some primary care physicians on HMOs do. Her office is clean, comfortable, easy to access, and easy to work with. Highly recommended.
EDIT: I’m so sad to have to edit this review, but I do. Dr. D’s care was great for me when I was a time and cash-​strapped college student with run of the mill sinus infections, etc. Now I’m all grown up and am actually concerned with quality of care and have more complex health issues, this practice no longer fits the bill.
Adriana did squeeze me in right away. Still no complaints in that department, but…
First and foremost, I want a doctor that practices EVIDENCE BASED care. Care that takes into account current research and the best possible science. I also want my health care practiced without judgment.
When I informed Dr. D that I was breastfeeding my 15 month old son and was inquiring about the safety of a medication she was prescribing, she lectured me that I needed to wean IMMEDIATELY and that babies shouldn’t be nursed past 6 – 7 months to «make them independent.» When I politely pointed out that this is contrary to the current recommendations of the AAP and the WHO (not to mention my own personal preference and experience) she said, «It’s not about research, it’s about common sense.»
«It’s not about research.» = Words that should never come out of my doctor’s mouth.
Then she threw out the completely nonsensical and unscientific notions that once babies have teeth and/​or can move around, they don’t need to breastfeed. I believe it was Socrates who coined the phrase, «Fools be trippin.» Sigh.
After the appointment I made sure to research the medication and breastfeeding because I don’t actually trust my doctor to give me the correct information. Once you can’t trust your doctor, you have to move on.
Now, my «breakup» with Dr. D has been a long time coming, because I’ve noticed that the quality of care my husband gets is not as good, and my husband has refused to see her for quite some time. It’s a waste of money because, for whatever reason, she doesn’t actually examine him. She just sort of talks to him from across the room. Maybe because he’s a big tattooed guy and she finds him intimidating or something? I don’t know, but it’s not good. He’s just a guy and he needs a doctor who will get up close and do what needs to be done.
There have been other problems, but I won’t go into all of them. This last incident was just the straw that broke the lactivist’s back. If you’re looking for a family physician who is breastfeeding friendly and evidence based, look elsewhere. If you already have one, please message me because I’m looking for one.

I have been going to Dr. Deshmukh for many years and I would not go anywhere else. First of all, she is ALWAYS on time. No need to have a waiting room because you are never in there long enough. If you need a last minute appointment, she will accommodate you. Second of all, she listens to you and if you need to be referred out there is no red-​tape to go through. Her assistant Adrianna always remembers you and gets you whatever paperwork you need ASAP. Dr. D has had to send me to numerous specialists because I have the weirdest medical conditions and every one that she has referred me to has been just as wonderful as she is. She will only refer you to the doctors that she would go to and that says a lot.

Went to this office today based on Unilocal reviews. This lady and her staff are awesome. Laid back, plenty of time to find out what’s going on. Love them!

My whole family goes to Dr. Deshmukh and has been for years. I’m talking even aunts and cousins. She’s that good.
Dr. Deshmukh is fabulous, and so is her assistant, Adriana! I hate going to the dentist, the optometrist, anything medical I suppose, but here I feel totally at ease. Dr. Deshmukh is really good about making you feel comfortable, listening to you, and addressing any problems or questions you may have. I have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes to be seen and I have actually never had to make an appointment. Every time I call Adriana asks me «can you come in now?» and I just drive over and get right in. The few times when I’ve been too sick to drive over, she’s called prescriptions in to my pharmacy for me. Any time I need a referral to a specialist, they’ve done such an excellent job at referring me to someone really good and getting it through my insurance super quick! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dr Deshmukh is extremely experience doc. Any doc you need to visit and decide

Dr. D is the best doctor I have ever had. Adriana is a goddess! They are always efficient and They take the time to get to know their patients. They genuinely care. I recommend them to everyone. If the saw babies, I would bring my son to her.

Have I expressed how much I love this doctor? Adriana did everything she could to get my referrals to the plastic surgeon and later to the ENT and ophthalmologist when we discovered the plastic surgeon couldn’t fix my broken face. She even made the appointments for me when she called the other doctors to see if they could fit me in as an emergency appointment. I had all three referrals and two appointments within 4 days. That’s super fast for an HMO.

Worst MD in the world!!! I don’t know who’s worse, her or her incompetent staff (Tamana, tomato, not sure what her name is). I believe she has two clinics, one in orange and one in corona. She never follows up with the pt after visits, lab results, etc. Lets just say if zero was a rating that’s what she would deserve. Save yourself the stress and find a different PCP, your body will thank you for it!

I’ve been through a lot of internists in the last years, and have been far less than satisfied, until now. Dr. Deshmukh is amazing. She listens, it generally takes less than a week to get an appointment, and her handwriting is even legible. I would recommend her to anyone in heartbeat.
Another great thing, fyi, you won’t be left waiting in the waiting room for more than a minute or two usually. Her assist keeps on top of things perfectly.
