Dr. Deshmane joined the Mohawk Valley Health System Orthopedic Group in early September. He specializes in adult reconstruction, sports medicine and treating hip, knee and shoulder injuries.

The Mako robot allows for less invasive patient procedures, quicker recovery times and less blood loss and infection risk. 

Dr. Deshmane is certified and credentialed to use the Mako robot for total hip and total and partial knee replacements. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
