Dr. Rajeev Kathuria, MD

Professional, no nonsense and lives up to his fame.

Dr. Kathuria had absolutely terrible bedside manner. He does not like to involve family in discussions regarding patient care. An egotistical doctor that will not answer family questions and have conversations regarding concerns, in my opinion, should no longer be taking care of patients. I have also worked with brilliant and humble CV surgeons for years that set the bar high.

Could not have been better. He is phenomenal and has surrounded himself with exceptional team. He runs a tight ship that creates confidence in the patient. I don’t know how he can run such a busy and quality schedule. I had mitral valve repair and walked out a week later with a heart performing perfectly

Excellent surgeon!

WE very much liked Dr. Kathuria as my husband's heart surgeon. He gives you the information that you need and is clear and honest.

Dr. Kathuria has been instrumental in managing my heart-related issues and, over time, achieving tremendous improvement in my life and outlook for the future. My issues included atrial fibrillation, a faulty aortic valve and root, and an aortic aneurysm. Dr. Kathuria helped me navigate these challenges through lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery in a manner that improved my heart function and daily life to normal, as well as a positive outlook for the future. Post-surgery, my medications have been reduced to just two. Through the pre-surgery, open heart surgery and post-surgery recovery process, I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Kathuria's surgical skills, knowledge, extensive experience in performing these complex surgeries, honesty, and straight-forward communications. Dr. Kathuria and his staff have earned my highest level of respect and recommendation for anyone needing the services of an outstanding thoracic surgeon.

Dr. Kathuria performed my recent quadruple bypass, and my experience from pre-op to post-hospital follow-up could not have been better! My son, a surgeon himself, asked quite a few detailed questions of Dr. Kathuria, and Dr. Kathuria answered each of his questions with immense patience and depth. His poise and the sense of ease that he exudes is unparalleled, and upon meeting him, I instantly knew that I was in the best of hands. My experience at Banner Boswell was impressive from beginning to end--from Kelsi, Dr. Kathuria's PA, who visited me two-three times per day to answer all my questions and ensure that I was doing well, to Roberta, cardiac ICU nurse, who treated me as though I was her own family member. I truly cannot thank Dr. Kathuria and his team enough for rendering me the highest level of care during one of the most tumultuous times of my life.

There was no doubt about the excellent skill level of Dr. Kathuria and the patient care at Boswell is now very compassionate and kind. Both my husband and myself were treated by Dr Kathuria and both of us had outstanding outcomes. (triple bypass and aortic valve replacement) He makes sound and knowledgeable decisions?? would solidly recommend him.

If you need a heart surgeon, look no further! Dr. Kathuria is the best! He replaced an aortic valve and 4 by-passes on my husband who developed complications and Dr. Kathuria saved his life. We had tears at our last appt. as we felt secure and safe in his care. We've never seen such a dedicated, skilled doctor. I would rate Dr. Kathuria as 5 stars +++++

I had my bypass surgery done by Dr Kathuria on the 6th of June 2017. Perfect job, even the first day in the ICU, barely had any pain. Recovering was with no complication, just overall an excellent job. On a personal level, He is a very carrying , professional and i was most taken back how humble he is. If you are fortunate enough to have dr Kathuria as your surgeon, you should be really not worry, you are in excellent hands, and your recovery will be smooth and speedy. Joseph

Dr. Kathuria has performed open heart surgery on both of my parents. He is a professional who will watch out for his patients and will be direct with you. I can't believe the hours he works when performing surgery. Thank you for saving both my mom and dad!

Dr . Kathuria saved my fathers life. He has major heart issues and thanks to Dr. Katherine he is still with us today. I have never seen a Dr. so dedicated. Thank God for him, without him I don't think my father would be here today.

Dr. Kathuria performed mitral valve repair for me. During our consultations he was very certain I would need a replacement valve so I chose the one that was best for me. During surgery however, Dr. Kathuria discovered he could repair my valve.My new cardiologist believes Dr. Kathuria is extremely ethical based on the fact that the surgery would have been easier if he had done the replacement. 1.5 years later I am healthy with no murmur! Thank you!
