Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Raju is the best. I am so lucky to have him as my doctor. I love the fact that he talks to you and not at you as so many doctors do.
Care was top notch. This visit was to explain test results, needed treatment and if any follow up was required in the future how to access same.
Dr. Raju is one of the best doctors I ever had. He takes his time w his patients and I'd generally concerned. I am truly going to miss him. I wish all the drs were like him.
Best Doctor I ever had really hate to lose him as my doctor. Since he has cut his practice
Dr. Raju is leaving his practice and I was willing to follow him where ever he went but sad to say he has accepted a administrative position which will give him more time with his family. Truly a fantastic person. May God bless him in his next journey.
I was given the phone number and order information to make an appointment for a test when I had my calendar available. The doctor was fantastic. Very thorough, listened carefully, explained clearly, and had an ingratiating personality. I was sorry to hear he will be moving on. He's very impressive.

Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
