Meet Dr. Raj
Dr. Nishant Raj is a trauma surgeon specializing in emergency care laparoscopy.
He has expertise in general surgery, emergency and acute care surgery, and laparoscopic procedures.
Dr. Raj earned his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine. He completed general surgery residency at Cleveland Clinic.
I have tailored my practice towards minimally invasive surgery – whether laparoscopically or using the da Vinci robotic surgical assisted system. Minimally invasive surgery minimizes the “footprint” on a patient and has tremendous benefits in the long-run. There is less pain and usually a shorter recovery period. It is the future of surgery. I also do acute care in my practice — emergency/acute care surgery definitely increases everyone’s adrenaline and can be extremely gratifying when everything goes well for the patient. One thing that sets our practice here at Christian Hospital apart it that as a surgeon, I am directly involved in your care from your initial clinical visit, to your surgical procedure and finally to your post-operative care.”
