Dr. Maharajh is a caring and considerate Dr.. He listens to your concerns and doesn’t rush you through your visit. He is very thorough and will order testing if you have a problem. I have been a patient for 32 years. My husband and parents are also his patients.

Johnstown would benefit if we had more doctors like Dr Maharajh. He has a wonderful bedside manner, a good sense of humor and he is very easy to talk to. Nurses LOVE him. He treats them as respected members of the healthcare team and he always takes the time to teach and educate. Just can't say enough about him!!
