Dr. Nagaraju has been my pulmonologist for 18 years. He literally saved my life during a critical health incident. Dr. Nagaraju is very thorough with me during appointments and explains test results so that I can understand them. I have always had complete confidence in him.

Dr. Nagaraju takes the time to ask questions about your health and makes notes. He then listens carefully to what you have to say and provides care accordingly. He changed an inhaler medication that I had originally been prescribed because it is dangerous. He made suggestions to improve the air quality in my home and is referring me to another physician to be examined for a different type of condition. I think he is a caring physician and highly recommend him.

Dr. Nagaraju helped me with a chronic lung infection by prescribing an antibiotic I'd never used before, and I've been free of coughing for the past month since taking the medication.

He is a wonderful and kind Doctor. He will take his time with you and really cares. I would still be a patient if his if I hadn't moved to another state.

As a doctor, needs to be more professional. My first impression was not very good. Would not recommend him to a friend, was assigned to him by appointment. desk as a quick opening. Now I can see why.
