Dr. Raj goes beyond what is needed. I was late by one hour to the visit. He and his fellow stayed back to take care of me, when I explained. Very appreciative

This guy is very cocky and a big bluff and have total disregard for the common man. His secretary who acts like this guy is a Deity told me that he runs a VIP clinic and only treat diplomats and people of higher echelon and she does does not know how I got to schedule with him so she will reassign my treatment plan to another doctor. I declined and sought help elsewhere. They also refused to give me a copy of some of my medical record when requested. Very Sad.
