Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was referred to Dr Raju by my PCP. I was nervous about going to a psychiatrist. I was beyond thrilled with my experience then and have been seeing him quarterly since 2012. He projects an aura of calmness and wisdom. He asks amazing questions and follows with questions that show he was truly listening. I highly recommend Dr Raju.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Raju?
To start off I would like to say I have been to probably 15 psychiatrists since I was 14 and I am now 33. I started seeing him in sept. 2015 and have been seeing him since. He listens to me and asks alot of questions . Not questions off a piece of paper but personable questions. He listens well and has a demeanor that actually makes me calm which is a rare thing considering my anxiety and depression. This doctor truly loves his work and is passionate, come on why else would he b workin at age 74
