I have been a patient for 6 years, The Cleveland Clinic has become a behemoth and I have been removing myself from care there. Impossible to get appointments and doctors who dont really care. If Dr. Nagarajan was not my doctor, I would have left long ago. Dr. Nagarajan is the best doctor anywhere. I treat primarily with him and the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and Dr. Nagarajan is by far the most caring medical professional I have ever encountered. Top notch care, top notch customer service and a staff that exceeds expectations!

Dr. Nagarajan has been my partner through my cancer journey. I am lucky to know that he wanted me to live as badly as I wanted to live. And we succeeded! He was open to ideas, shared my care plan and followed surgical and treatment plans set out by my team at the Mayo Clinic. No ego here, pure heart!

I always felt safe in Cleveland, knowing that I would be well taken care of there.I returned to Dr. Nagarajan because I don't feel safe with my personal doctor in Krupa. They don't care about me there.Dr. Nagarajan is very dedicated to his patients and as an oncologist, he addresses the concerns of any patient. In addition to the radiological checks, before leaving he always checks my heart and lungs, he checks my colostomy and circulation. And he always asks if I have any other questions.
