N.V.R. Raju M.D.

Out of all the physicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my career as Registered Respiratory Therapist, Dr Raju was the most compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and supportive. He always would ask me what I thought whenever we worked together in caring for his patients. To be respected by an individual like Dr Raju was truly an honor. I will miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to all of Dr. Raju's family. Dr. Raju saved my father's life a number of times at Centegra Hospital in Mchenry and was truly a compassionate, caring man and physician. He was always honest with my family when discussing my father's condition and truly cared about my father as a person and not just a patient. He was an outstanding cardiologist.

Dr. Raju was an exceptional man. Our community was blessed to have had this man as a cardiologist for so long. I will miss him greatly. He was a superb physician while also remaining was a consummate gentleman - a difficult combination in today's world. He worked tirelessly for his patients and performed with exceptional skill. Few doctors worked as hard as Dr. Raju.

I will miss him as a friend and colleague. As a fellow physician, I had a close working relationship with him and...

My father, Dr.Neuchiller, was mentor to Dr.Raju in the early years of his practice here. Dr.Raju once told me that he regarded my father like a grandfather and my father, similarly, held Dr.Raju in high esteem and considered him a dear friend.
Dr.Raju would later save my father's life.

Years after that, Dr.Raju stood with my sister and myself by my father's bedside during his final hour, relaying memories of their time together. His presence with us in that moment eased our pain. ...

Dr. Raju--I will miss you deeply. I remember you talking about how you made your children do the "wall chair" as a punishment when they were not good. You shared with us laughter, and you shared with us your intelligence your skills and your compassion. I heard from a patient at Lake Forest that you had fallen ill last year. I will always remember doing rounds with you ( and staying in the room to make sure the patients understood your beautiful musical accent ). My favorite of all...

Dr. Raja, was a very talented Cardiologist, giving man, always upbeat and friendly. He will truly be missed by all. RIP Dr. Raja.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Dr.Raju, I was a patient of his for twenty years, and he saved my life, he wasn't only my doctor, but my friend, a caring, passionate, loving man, who will be extremely missed! He talked about his family and how proud he was of each of his children, his life! His biggest accomplishments were his family, his compassion for his patients, and his passion for medicine, there will never be another the likes of this man! With deepest gratitude, and...

I never had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Raju. I know that he was a truly amazing father and physician, however, because I do have the pleasure of working with his son, Dr. Mahesh Raju. I have heard that he is much like his father which is a huge compliment. We have all hoped and prayed for the senior Dr. Raju these last, many months. May he now rest in peace. May his family treasure the memories of him. Good Bless!

I will miss Dr Raju. I learned a lot from this kind compassionate man. I enjoyed working along side him in ICU at NIMC. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed teasing my sister and I as nurses working with him. My prayers to his family❤Sincerely Ginger Morton RN
