I have been seeing Dr Raj for several years. My son also sees him. He is excellent. He listens to you and spends as much time as needed with you. He has your well being at heart and wants you do do well long term. He is a proponent of changes in life style to address medical issues, in addition to needed drugs and procedures. His medical staff is also good. They call in prescriptions etc quickly. And it is not difficult to get appointments in urgent situations.

I have been going to Dr Raj for 16 years now and find him to be a very caring and talented doctor. He has been able to diagnose and resolve all issues and performs an annual physical to ensure my health is always top notch. I highly recommend him. My mother goes there also and thinks he is tops!!

My husband and I found Dr. Raj Polavaram on the internet in 2014 as we needed a Primary Care Physician due to our previous Primary Care Physician of 30 years not taking Medicare Insurance. We are so thankful and blest to have found this amazing doctor. He is truly is a caring, patient, kind doctor who is so much in tune to his patients' needs. We love Dr. Raj.
