Dr. Krishna Deshpande, MD FACS
American College of Surgeons
Board-Certified in Pain Management
Dr. Krishna Deshpande is a board-certified physician whose distinguished medical career spans more than four decades of clinical practice, surgical training, pain management, psychiatry, and integrative medicine. His extensive education and diverse clinical background have equipped him with a comprehensive understanding of both physical and mental health, allowing him to provide truly patient-centered, multidisciplinary care.
Dr. Deshpande began his medical career in Aurangabad, India, where he earned his medical degree and initially practiced as an Internal Medicine physician. During his early years in practice, he developed a strong foundation in the diagnosis and management of complex acute and chronic medical conditions while caring for a diverse patient population.
Driven by a passion for surgery and advanced procedural medicine, Dr. Deshpande relocated to Sunderland, England, where he pursued additional postgraduate surgical training. While in the United Kingdom, he trained at the Sunderland Orthopaedic & Accident Hospital and later practiced at the Royal Hospital of Sunderland. His experience in England provided extensive exposure to orthopedic trauma, emergency medicine, musculoskeletal injuries, and comprehensive surgical patient management.
Following his training in the United Kingdom, Dr. Deshpande moved to the United States to further his medical education. He completed postgraduate residency training in Brooklyn, New York, and Cleveland, Ohio, where he refined his expertise in General Surgery and the comprehensive care of medically and surgically complex patients.
Throughout his surgical career, Dr. Deshpande managed patients across every phase of care, from initial emergency evaluation and diagnosis through operative intervention, postoperative recovery, rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up. His responsibilities included the management of critically ill patients in emergency departments, intensive care units, trauma services, and surgical critical care units. He developed extensive experience treating traumatic injuries involving the musculoskeletal system, head and neck trauma, hand injuries, abdominal emergencies, and other complex surgical conditions.
In addition to his hospital-based practice, Dr. Deshpande maintained a private medical practice where he evaluated and treated patients suffering from a broad spectrum of acute and chronic illnesses. It was through caring for patients experiencing persistent pain, functional limitations, anxiety, depression, and other chronic medical conditions that he recognized the profound connection between physical illness and mental well-being.
This realization led Dr. Deshpande to pursue extensive advanced education and professional training in psychiatry, behavioral health, and integrative mental healthcare. Throughout his career, he has completed comprehensive continuing medical education in the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance use disorders, insomnia, and other psychiatric illnesses. His training emphasizes evidence-based psychiatric evaluation, medication management, individualized treatment planning, and the integration of medical, psychological, and lifestyle interventions to optimize patient outcomes.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dr. Deshpande has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to humanitarian service. He has participated in numerous medical outreach initiatives, traveling to underserved and economically disadvantaged regions to provide volunteer medical care to individuals who otherwise had limited access to healthcare services. His dedication to service reflects his enduring belief that quality healthcare should be accessible to all individuals regardless of geographic or socioeconomic barriers.
Today, Dr. Deshpande's practice reflects the culmination of decades of experience across surgery, internal medicine, interventional pain management, mental health, and integrative healthcare. His unique multidisciplinary background enables him to understand the complex relationship between physical illness, chronic pain, and mental health while providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Above all, Dr. Deshpande believes that exceptional patient care begins with listening. He is committed to developing meaningful relationships with his patients, educating them about their conditions, and partnering with them to develop comprehensive treatment plans that improve quality of life, restore function, and promote long-term physical and emotional wellness.
Dr. Deshpande is fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi, allowing him to provide culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population and effectively communicate with patients from a variety of backgrounds.
