[...] It is always an honor and pleasure to be seen by Dr. Raghu and his lung team/associates. This particular day of appt's went swift and the people who helped me during the CT scan, lung function and 6-MWT tests were awesome and I hope I'll be able to have their assistance at all of my future appt's.

We enjoy Dr Rague, just wish we would have asked him to explain the test results in more depth, I'm sure he would have. We get copies of test, but have no clue what they mean. Other than him saying that he is same as before, which isn't a bad thing :) Thanks

Dr. Raghu is the best physician from whom I have ever received any form of medical treatment. I see him because I was diagnosed with [...] first diagnosed almost three years ago. I travel 300 miles round trip to see him a couple of times a year. He is highly competent, caring and compassionate, sharing his experience and expertise about the disease with his patients. He states that he "lives for (his) patients," and it shows. Those professionals who work with Dr. Raghu, assisting patients in dealing with the disease (which is progressive in nature) also seem to put compassionate caring and concern at the top of their professional priority list. My guess would be that Dr. Raghu has little staff turnover because, in my opinion, members of Dr. Raghu's team reflect his values, as he works as the head of the Interstitial Lunv Disease Clinic at the Medical Center. Going to work each day, in the environment in which Dr. Raghu renders care, must be immensely satisfying for those privileged to work with him.
