Rishi Raj, MD

Dr. Raj received his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree from Patna Medical College in India. He completed his medical degree at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA., and a fellowship at UK in Lexington.

He is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

“My joy in learning and practicing endocrinology is the thrill of solving this hormonal puzzle, finding where it went wrong, and treating it with medications to correct and keep the disease under control, said Dr. Raj.”

He looks forward to providing care to patients at PMC.

“I want my patients to know that I find it most rewarding to see them happy and well,” Dr. Raj said. “My primary aim is to help patients through their illness and get them back to a healthy lifestyle.”

He says he wants to work with each patient to get them through tough times, discuss the issues they face with treatment, and always love to make sure they feel cared for.

Several factors drew Dr. Raj to PMC.

“I completed my training at UK, and during that time, I met many people from around the Pikeville area, Dr. Raj said. “ My experience with people in the region was always positive, and practicing medicine here allows me to provide specialty care to the wonderful people in this region.”

He says after visiting PMC and interacting with doctors and staff, he could not think about any better place to work.
