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.

Good friendly doctor.
He's a kind caring doctor and really goes above and beyond.

Every time I have an appointment with him, he treats me very quickly as if he were in a hurry, it makes me nervous and I forget to ask him the questions I need.

Finally, a Doctor Who listens to their patients

Dr. Raj listens intently and offers solutions and suggestions on dealing with medical issues or questions you may have. He is also great at referrals and I feel completely comfortable talking to him about anything I may be going through. I highly recommend him.

Not a good doctor.
This is the 3rd time I’ve seen him. Every time I have questions regarding my health, all he says is I don’t know, he just sends referrals to specialists. He sounds very dumb for a doctor, I mean you went to school for how many years?? And don’t know anything at all? One example question I asked, is it safe to take melatonin if I’m taking other medication? And he said I don’t know…..

Horrible Dr!!!
I’ve been seeing Dr Raj for years and he’s recently gotten even worse. If you want to go to a doctor and hear “I don’t know “ a hundred times and be laughed at and told that “we just do our best” then go see this idiot. He’s awful and doesn’t care AT ALL about his patients needs or concerns. I MYSELF had to bring up the fact that I had high cholesterol in recent labs that HE ordered in order for me to get medicine for it. He didn’t even have my lab results in the chart an THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE VISIT!!! He’s awful

'I don't know'
I went in to talk about medication that is necessary for my health, and he told me he doesn't know how to help me. He wouldn't prescribe me medication only gave me a referral because 'that's someone else's specialty'. Why is he a doctor if he can't help diagnose anything? He also misdiagnosed me and put in my chart that I am actively taking medications that I am not. His diagnoses about our visit was not even related to what we actually talked about in the visit. Do Not go to this doctor. He has no clue how to help (I told him what I need, I've had this medication before I just need a new prescription for it) and he refused to help me. When I am too sick to work or take care of my family, it will be on his hands.

Communication Breakdown
I was extremely frustrated with Dr. Raj's confusing and inconsistent communication and follow through, and on my final appointment encountered what I perceived as flat out rudeness and dismissal from him. Last year I expressed concern to him about a specific issue that, while not life-threatening, causes a considerable amount of discomfort & impacts my work. The details after that are too long, arduous and confusing to recount... but the bottom line is his communication about resolving the issue was absent, then delayed, then confusing and seemingly contradictory... then re-started all over again back to square one as if I'd never brought it up the first time several months ago. And when I tried to express my (genuine) confusion about the whole thing, and was unwilling to submit to him examining me (it's a very vulnerable area) he wrapped the visit instantly & said that if I 'didn't hear from his office about the specialist referral in a month, to call back.' Very poor care.

Dr. Raj and Staff Questionable Professionalism
Way to many occasions he/office fail to return phone calls of respond to patient portal inquiries. They say someone will call you back in 24 hours, but it rarely happens. You must keep calling them to get any kind of an answer. Dr. Raj does not personally contact you with lab or test results. He has a staff person notify you, so you are unable to ask a question.

Rushed and Recommend to out of Network follow ups
I recently changed health plans with my work and visited Dr. Raj as a new patient to get some physical work and an X-ray on my hip that was sore and stiff. While in the office the appointment felt rushed not very thorough. After he recommended me to two different offices to get ab X-ray on my hip and blood work done. Both locations he recommended me to were out of network for me. Luckily the lab he recommended me to for blood work informed me that they didn’t take my insurance but gave me directions to a place right down the road that did. The X-ray lab however said nothing and took my insurance only for me to find out a month later that I had to pay the whole cost of my X-rays because it was out of network, I’m lucky I didn’t get more work done. First and last time I’ll be visiting Dr. Raj. Now I’m stuck with a 250$ bill because he didn’t bother checking my insurance and recommend me to two out of network facilities.
