Rajeswari Cheerath, MD

I entered medicine to help patients navigate the healthcare system. My goal is for patients to feel safe and supported and to meet their needs within the treatment plan. My patients' strength and resilience continually inspire me. I approach care that extends beyond the patient to their family members. I give families and caregivers the necessary resources and support for their participation. Patients appreciate my compassion, relatability, and transparency. I provide a team-based, patient-centered approach to their care. I emphasize compassion and strive to meet their goals along their healthcare journey.
