Dr. Nagaraj is an awesome general surgeon. She went over all my concerns and what my plan going forward is. I felt confident in her assessment of my condition.

I highly recommend Dr. Nagaraj. She is not only amazing at her craft but a a kind and compassionate person. At my initial consultation for breast cancer surgery, she explained every option and possible outcome and asked us repeatedly if my husband and I had any questions. When test results were received I was notified immediately. She and her staff were quick to respond to any emails or phone calls, never making me feel like I was a bother. On surgery day, Dr. Nagaraj checked in with me both before and after surgery to make sure I was prepared and feeling OK. My husband couldn’t accompany me in the hospital due to COVID-19, and Dr Nagaraj communicated with him on the outcome of my surgery and my recovery. Post surgery, when we received less than pleasant news on my lymph node biopsy, Dr. Nagaraj called me personally to discuss and was very empathetic about my fears and anxiety. I feel very blessed to have been referred to Dr. Nagaraj.

I dont typically like doctors or getting care when I need it. I cant say enough about how happy I was with Dr Nagaraj. Really just the blend of smart, professional and courteous that I have always wanted in a doctor/surgeon. I was also really impressed with the actual work done. great communication and great work! Finally someone treats my health as if my livelihood depends on it. Thank you and all of the support staff so much!

Dr Nagaraj is the sweetest Doctor I have ever been to. She is so kind and supportive. I was so scared to have a bilateral mastectomy after getting results of the BRCA 1. She was amazing. Always got right back to me when I would send her messages on the patient portal no matter how trivial my questions. She was so kind following the surgery as well. I never felt rushed or brushed off. Even her visits in the hospital before and after surgery. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone.
