Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the BEST
I had my first visit with Dr. Raju today. I am so impressed with this doctor. He was kind, empathetic, and has a great sense of humor. We discussed my symptoms and he listened carefully. After a few diagnostic tests, we discussed the possible treatments and made a decision together on how to proceed. This is one of the best experiences I've ever had with a doctor.

Excellent experience
I was the caregiver to my uncle who is Dr. Raju's patient. The overall visit was excellent. We were not made to wait, unlike other Dr. that do that regularly. Dr. Raju was patient and paid great attention to my uncle's symptoms. He has difficulty walking and falls regularly and we have to always be very careful with him. Dr. Raju provided very practical suggestions and had a great grasp of what the medical issues that my uncle had. I would recommend him to anyone. We have another appointment in 3 weeks again.

Best of the Best
Dr Raju has a stellar education. He has an undergrad from Emory where he did a MD PHD. He went on to specialize in Neurology and did his residence in Boston at Mass General. His thesis was on Parkinsons.My husband saw Dr Raju due to a nerve issue in his elbow .He is a very calm doctor with an amazing positive attitude and a great bedside manner. At no time did he rush us. Neurologists in Atlanta are in high demand and we were able to see him at short notice. I have been highly recommending Dr Raju to my students, friends and family.

Dr. Raju has helped my family member through a very difficult diagnosis. She had surgery and he also took care of her neurological disease before and after neurosurgery. His staff always made the appointment when needed.

Dr Raju is good but
I have had a numb foot for a week now, the 1st available appy is a month away. The lady answering the phone is a complete airhead and told me to call other neurology places to see if I can get in sooner?? So, that's what I'm being forced to do.

Dr. Raju was the best doctor I've seen in years. He truly cares about his patients. He spent so much time with me, let my daughter zoom into the visit and was so respectful and had a great bedside manner. I felt VERY cared for and I felt like I was in good hands. I never felt the need to write a review but he truly deserved MY time to make a review.

I recently had the pleasure of having a visit with Dr. Raju. I can say he a kind, attentive neurologist with a great bedside manner. He is thorough, repeats the plan of care, answers all questions and leaves none unanswered. Dr. Raju has implemented a thorough plan of care with pros and cons as to not be surprised and to know what to looks for. It's refreshing to have someone in specialty with a caring, attentive attitude.

Today I spent about an hour with Dr. Raju as he administered a procedure. This is my second meeting with him. He has an *outstanding* demeanor with both patients and staff. He is obviously knowledgeable, and moved efficiently through tests without giving me the sense that he is rushing me. He explains all the symptoms and consequences of what he finds. He takes time to listen to me, and to consider what I am saying, not just what the tests are saying. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in need of a neurologist.

How can a medical practice have such outstanding positive reviews regarding a doctor when the office staff apparently provides what their patients perceive as non-responsive and uncaring attitudes and service? The office staff are the public face of the practice and it would seem that a physician would ensure that this aspect of the practice would be top notch and beyond reproach. For this reason after years of seeing Dr. Raju despite his abilities to help me, which were good until I reached a point when he couldn’t seem to help me. Stress is a big factor in migraines and not one time in during the visits did he ask what was going

No consideration for people. We were traveling for about 40 minutes and told them. Suffering from migraines for 50 years. All I've gotten is more prescriptions and continued headaches. I mentioned my frustration to the manager of my gym who gave me Dr. Raju's name, since he had successfully helped her co-worker. We clearly, distinctly scheduled with Dr. Raju. He was not even there! We were told we'd see a nurse. What BS! We walked out but not without giving them a large piece of our mind!

Totally Ticked in ATLANTA, GA – Nov 06, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Raju?
We made an appointment to see Dr Raju. We drove 45 minutes to Dr Raju's office. When we arrived, the receptionist told us for the first time that our appointment was with the nurse practitioner, not Dr Raju. When you make an appointment to see a Dr who has been referred to by you, you expect the Dr to see you!!! So we wasted over an hour and a half just for NOTHING!!!

Today, my wife had an appointment with Dr. Raju at 2.40 pm for follow up. I and my wife reached there at 230 pm. After deposited of US$ 210.00 at cash counter one nurse escorted us to check up and told us you can wait some time for Dr. Raju. We wait there more that one hour in the exam room. After some time I saw outside, Dr. Raju stands there, he gave me some indication, he is coming. But after some another lady doctor came and she checked up my wife. This is very bad experience for me.
