Welcome to a new kind of healing relationship. Dr. RajaShekhar Buddhavarapu — known by patients simply as Dr. Buddha — is a quadruple board-certified physician whose integrative, concierge-based approach puts compassion, science, and whole-person care at the heart of every interaction.
With more than 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Raj Buddhavarapu serves individuals navigating complex health journeys — from chronic pain and emotional distress to aging and performance fatigue. His goal: to be your trusted medical partner, offering responsive, personalized care that meets your needs, respects your story, and honors your goals.

An Integrative Path to Wellness: Care for Your Body, Mind, and Soul
Dr. Raj Buddhavarapu believes that modern medicine should do more than treat symptoms — it should heal the person. That means listening closely, taking time, and crafting treatments that are evidence-informed yet deeply personalized.
He combines conventional medical strategies with holistic approaches, such as nutrition, mind-body practices, IV infusions, and advanced therapeutics like ketamine.
Whether managing chronic conditions or enhancing everyday vitality, his care is rooted in trust, transparency, and collaboration.
“I don’t believe in rushing through appointments or prescribing quick fixes. True healing takes time, understanding, and the courage to look at the full picture.” — Dr. Raj Buddhavarapu.
Spotlight on Ketamine Therapy for Neuropathic Pain
A growing area of Dr. Raj Buddhavarapu’s practice focuses on treating neuropathic pain — chronic pain that stems from nerve damage or dysfunction — using ketamine-assisted therapy. He works with patients facing conditions such as:
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Postherpetic neuralgia (shingles pain)
- Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Post-surgical or injury-related nerve pain
Each patient receives education, safety screening, and follow-up care. For those who have exhausted traditional medications, ketamine may offer a path forward that restores comfort, function, and quality of life.
“Neuropathic pain can feel like the body’s alarm system won’t turn off. Ketamine helps us quiet that signal — and create space for healing. My role is to use it with precision, caution, and compassion.” —Dr. Raj Buddhavarapu.
