Dr. Rajesh Deshmukh
When visiting London from the US, I had an emergency with one of my eyes which was swollen and bloody, and I could not see out of it. The Cleveland Clinic in London referred me to Moorfields Private Eye Hospital. Dr. Deshmukh saw me the same day. After examination and tests, he diagnosed my problem and prescribed drops. I saw Dr. Deshmukh for follow up appointments as well. My eye was greatly improved, and I continued the same treatment back in the US.
Both Dr. Deshmukh and his assistant Paula Jessup were kind, pleasant, and efficient. They put me at ease and acted swiftly. I would recommend them highly.

Great care pre and post op with fantastic results. So pleased I did this
A highly positive experience
I was extremely apprehensive about having cataract surgery. Mr Deshmukh explained the various options and implications. Following the operation my vision is very good indeed and I’m able to start again some hobbies and activities. It’s been a very positive and transformative experience.

I'm more than happy to recomend Mr Deshmukh. The whole process from the initial consultation, through an assessment of visual acuity and measurement of intra-ocular pressure to the actual operation itself was friendly, supportive and highly competent and in my case doubly succesful. The fact that all my contacts with him and his team were at Bishops Wood Hospital, a small private hospital in Northwood, made my life a lot easier than it would have been going to Moorfields in London. But knowing he was a consultant at the internationally known hospital gave me the assurance that he was one of the best. Thank you, Mr Deshmukh.

Mr Deshmukh did cataract surgery on both my eyes four years ago. This week I had some laser treatment as one eye was not seeing clearly. Almost immediately I could see clearly again which seems like a miracle but is actually due to skill and professionalism.
Excellent, thank you.
Being informed that I required cataract…
Being informed that I required cataract surgery on both eyes initially filled me with fear. However, during my first meeting and throughout the entire process at Moorfields, Mr. Deshmukh made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The operation was completed in just 45 minutes, and the next day, my vision was perfect. I could legally drive within two days, though I waited until the fifth day to do so. I highly recommend Mr. Deshmukh and his outstanding team.
Rajesh R Deshmukh came highly…
Rajesh R Deshmukh came highly recommended to me at Bishop’s Wood in Northwood, where I had my first consultation before undergoing cataract surgery on both eyes at Moorfield Clinic in London W1. His genuine care for patients and his professionalism stood out. I'm extremely pleased with the results and have already suggested his services to numerous friends and family. My heartfelt thanks to Rajesh for enhancing my quality of life.
I would like to thank my eye surgeon Mr…
I would like to thank my eye surgeon Mr Rajesh Deskmukh for performing my bilateral IOL's surgery, yes both eyes on the same day. I am now 100% spectacle FREE as he fitted me with multi focal Toric IOL's.
He put me at ease and both surgeries went very smoothly at New Cavendish Street in London.
The surgical team there are very professional and caring.
I have to say that Mr Deskmukh is an extremely skilled and accomplished eye surgeon who takes the time to tailor the visual outcome to each patient individually.
Thank you for giving me complete freedom from spectacles. I am an experienced Optometrist and can professionally state the quality of service I received.
Absolutely Fabulous 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Cataract Surgery
In November 2025 I had cataract surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital. My surgeon, Mr. Raj Deshmukh put me at ease on my initial consultation, was very reassuring and helped dispel my worries and concern as I have a prosthetic right eye so only have vision in my left. He also explained in great detail all the available lens options and together we decided on the enhanced mono focal toric lens. The operation itself was quick and painless and I am so pleased and delighted with the outcome! Mr. Deshmukh is an amazing surgeon and a lovely human being who really listens to you and inspires confidence and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering cataract surgery. I cannot thank him enough and thank you too to his practice manager Paula Jessop who was so helpful and available throughout the process.
I received great care and attention…
I received great care and attention during my immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery at the beginning of November 2025. All the options were carefully explained with no hurry or pressure to make a choice. On the day I received excellant care from all the team, including from the professionally friendly anaesthetist, Dr David Celaschi who helped and reassured me.
Cataract
I was fortunate to have been referred to Rajesh R Deshmukh at Bishop’s Wood in Northwood for the initial consultation and then the cataract surgery to both eyes he operated at Moorfiield Clinic in London W1
His approach was that of total concern for and dedication to the patient and very professional.
I am absolutely satisfied with the outcome and have recommended him to many of my friends and relatives.
Rajesh thank you so much for improving the quality my life
Cataract Eye Surgery
I was absolutely petrified in having been told that I needed cataract eye surgery on both my eyes. Mr Deshmukh put me at ease at my initial consultation and throughout the procedure at Moorfields. The surgery was completed within 45 minutes and I was able to see perfectly the following day. I was legal to drive within 2 days but delayed this until day 5. Would thoroughly recommend him and his team.
Mr Deshmukh made my Father feel and…
Mr Deshmukh made my Father feel and myself very ar ease after an appointment this morning.He explained everything clearly and then performed laser eye surgery on both my Father's eyes.
He also gave very clear instructions on the after care and further appointments.
We were both extremely happy with his care.
Mr Deshmukh is the best.....
I’ve been wearing contact lenses for over 40 years due to severe short-sightedness. When I developed cataracts, I got in touch with Mr Deshmukh but the prospect of cataract surgery was daunting. However, from my very first consultation, I was struck by his professionalism, expertise, and calming reassurance. My anxiety about the procedure led me to choose sedation, and I’m grateful that every aspect of the process was handled with such meticulous care.
I underwent surgery on my left eye in early June and the right in mid-October. Remarkably, my vision improved dramatically just one day after each procedure—I was genuinely amazed and absolutely thrilled with the results.
Throughout this journey, Mr Deshmukh remained a constant source of support and reassurance. I also want to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Moorfields Private Eye Hospital (New Cavendish Street) for their outstanding care before, during, and after the surgeries.
Mr Deshmukh YAG Capsulotomy
Mr Deshmukh performed laser treatment on me after I developed a post cataract surgery problem. The original cateract surgery was not performed by him. The diagnosis and action was very quickly and professionally undertaken, within the same day. The charges were clearly explained to me as well as the possible chances of side effects.
My surgery was performed and it turned out that there were no adverse side effects. I was very pleased with the service provided by Mr Deshmukh as well as his back room staff who were very professional and courteous.
I would thoroughly recommend him.
My eyesight is greatly enhanced and I am very happy.
Cataract surgery
Having been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes I began the nervous search for information on the possible replacement lens types and, more importantly, the right surgeon to use. I decided upon Mr Deshmukh based on the wealth of his experience and very positive reviews.
The initial consultation was very thorough and I left confident I had made the right choice and was in good hands.
Following my surgery, I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr Deshmukh and his team for a first class attentive service all the way from my initial consultation through to my pain free surgery.
A Surgeon Who Truly Cares – Highly Recommend for Complex Cases
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Deshmukh for his exceptional care, expertise, and unwavering commitment. Prior to my surgery, I was legally blind and had an extremely complex medical background — so much so that several other clinics refused to take on my case.
Despite the challenges, Dr. Deshmukh carefully reviewed all of my medical notes and made me feel at ease from the very beginning. He performed highly complex cataract surgery on both of my eyes, and I’m truly overjoyed to say that the outcome has been remarkably successful.
I can now see so clearly — it feels like a miracle, and I feel incredibly blessed. Dr. Deshmukh’s skill, professionalism, and compassionate reassurance throughout the entire process gave me complete confidence in his care.
I’m profoundly grateful for the dedication and support I received both before and after the surgery. Thank you for delivering such a life-changing result. I highly recommend Dr. Deshmukh, especially for complex cases.
Double cataract surgery
Dr Deshmukh was clear in his explanation of what the issue was and what my options were. I felt that I could make an informed decision as a result.
I had two cataracts removed together…
I had two cataracts removed together and was so anxious I opted for sedation. Mr Deshmukh was so reassuring about the operation and immediately put my mind at rest. I cannot praise him enough for such a
transformation of my sight as I can now
read and drive without glasses. All the
staff were wonderful at Bishops Wood
Hospital from start to finish.
