About Me

We spend a lot of time with the patients -- seeing how their pain and their condition is affecting their quality of life -- not just looking at the X-ray and MRI and deciding on treatment based on that. We decide our treatment based on the patient’s condition and the MRI together.

Dr. Deutsch is caring & listens to me. He explains what was found & how this impacts me & has provided information on how to manage difficulties. He is very kind & I wouldn't want any other Neurologist. So appreciative for him.

Dr. Deutsch is a very pleasant person to speak with. This doctor has been far different from any other medical professional I have ever spoken with. His demeanor and pleasantries are far above his status and station in life. Dr. Deautsch is a gifted person that treats his patients with care and respect. That is what I most like about him.
