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.

She's a nice understanding lady. Her staff is rude and incompetent. Meds are always called in late and phone is never answered.

Very poor service
I have called maybe 15 times in the last 10 months and the phone rang rang and rand the only number it gives you then I finally get an answer and was told three separate times I would be called back by Craig but no one still has called then I finally left a message explaining my experience and that it's a shame it says call this number to book and appt and that's not how it happens after the message i get a call back saying im threatening them about calling thr better business bureau and there was no threat just how poor I've been treated and that I've been in and out the hospital and I am already very sick and was admitted from a severe panic attack over how severely bad I was hurting and going into septic shock and scared to wake uo in a ice with tubes down my throat to keep me alive and I'm trying harder now to get back with all my doctor's and dr raj is awesome this is over the help. After she even tried to say you all don't have website. I'll just show up to have s urine in persin

if I could give zero stars I would
Doctor stood me up for my appointment then didn't return my calls. I was left to go through withdrawal of my highly addictive medications alone with no refills while doctor ignored my calls. I was awake and unable to fall asleep for more than 7 straight days, crying uncontrollably, sweating, with severe headache and vomiting and doctor still never returned my calls or made a new appointment. Then called me six months later to make a new appointment. I had finally found a much more reliable doctor by then. Go to anyone else.

I have seen Dr. Raj off and on for about 7 years and I just love her. I moved just recently to Michigan an can’t find anyone to compare to her. She has helped me tremendously and has become a good friend. She likes my sympathy for squirrels!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Raj for nearly 5 years now. She has always listened and is incredibly empathetic to my situations. Her ability to understand my physical medical conditions and mental and emotional ones and how they interact is nothing short of incredible and on point. I’ve been to several psychiatrists over the years and none have come close to the care, concern and availability of Dr. Raj. Her current staff and newest locations put her availability in the 5 star rating, bar none!

I am very impressed with Dr. Raj. I was suffering with severe depression. She adjusted my meds and 3 months later I feel GREAT. She listens to you and is extremely insightful in troubleshooting and making adjustments to solve your problems. She helped me more than I can express in words!

Worst dr ever, bar none... Me and a friend both had her and we both had the same experiences... Actually getting through on a call is next to impossible even after trying for days, i recently changed docs and either her or her incompetent staff REFUSE to send over my med record, so i have been forced off of much needed meds... Still in limbo and suffering... In the next 24 i am calling the better business bureau, and the medical board of VA on her... Save yourself by going to ANYONE else
