Dr. Raj was very personable. He gave me an idea about what he thought was going on with my hip. He ordered bloodwork as well as a bone scan and MRI and after reviewing all of those results, he did agree with the first thoughts. He was thorough and explained everything. I asked him if he's had prior experience with re-doing my original hip and he said he did. I'm very happy I was able to find Dr. Raj and he's in my Dean Medicare Advantage plan.

He was very kind and considerate of my needs and what needs to be done. Very thorough in his explanation of my condition and the future treatment. And I felt like he really cared about ME. He was quite remarkable.

Dr. Chakravarty was considerate and understanding! As much as I don't look forward to having knee replacement surgery, I am certainly glad it'll be Dr. Raj that will be doing the surgery!

He answered all my questions and concerns totally and in that i had a good understanding of the problems. Thought i had a hip issue but where he could show me it was attributed to a back and spine issue. Now i have reassurance and know where to go from here!!
