neurosurgeon or undergoing a neurosurgical operation can be one of
the most frightening and life-changing experiences a person will
ever have. Placing myself in the patient's shoes is the most
important thing I can do to provide the best advice and care for
any patient and family member with whom I interact. I believe in
providing the safest and most effective care for my patients,
founded on the principles of evidence-based medicine, research and
the latest techniques available. My goal is to offer the safest and
most effective surgical procedures for patients until we reach our
goal of developing a cure for every subtype of malignant and benign
brain tumor. About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified
