About Dr. Jaffar Raza
Dr. Jaffar Raza is an interventional cardiologist whose approach to care centers on precision, prevention, and partnership. He takes time to understand each patient as a whole person, developing individualized care plans focused on long-term cardiovascular health. His goal is for every patient to feel informed, reassured, and confident in their treatment decisions. He is committed to advancing technology-enabled, data-driven cardiovascular care and serves as the principal investigator for the TRANSFORM Study at Holy Name. This study uses advanced coronary imaging technology to detect arterial plaque and identify heart disease risk earlier and more accurately than traditional methods. The evolving focus of modern cardiology, he believes, is shifting from reacting to heart disease toward predicting and preventing it. Dr. Raza specializes in minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures, including complex coronary interventions that open blocked arteries without surgery, enabling faster recovery and improved outcomes. In addition to coronary care, he has extensive expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular and venous disease, managing conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), limb ischemia, carotid disease, and chronic venous disorders. Using advanced imaging and catheter-based therapies, he focuses on restoring circulation, relieving symptoms, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. A respected researcher and educator, Dr. Raza has published in leading medical journals and presented internationally. He earned his medical degree from Stanley Medical College, University of Madras in Chennai, India, and completed his internal medicine residency at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. He went on to complete fellowships in geriatrics and cardiovascular disease at East Carolina University, followed by a fellowship in interventional cardiology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. Dr. Raza is proud to practice at Holy Name.

Dr. Raza was outstanding. From the moment he walked into the room, he made me feel comfortable and genuinely cared about my concerns. He has an exceptional bedside manner and took the time to actively listen without making me feel rushed. He addressed every question and concern I had with patience and compassion, ensuring that I fully understood both my diagnosis and the reasoning behind my treatment plan.
I truly appreciated how thoroughly he explained my options, what to expect moving forward, and answered all of my questions in a way that was easy to understand. It’s clear that he values patient education and wants his patients to feel confident in their care. I left my appointment feeling reassured, informed, and confident that I was receiving excellent medical care. I would highly recommend Dr. Raza to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive cardiologist and I will absolutely be recommending him to family and friends.

Dr. Raza and his entire office staff are truly exceptional. During a very difficult and stressful time for our family, they showed an incredible level of kindness, compassion, and support that we will never forget.
Dr. Raza took the time to listen carefully, answer all of our questions, and make sure we felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for his patients are evident from the moment you meet him.
The staff was equally amazing—always friendly, patient, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond to help. Every interaction made us feel cared for and valued, which is something that is unfortunately rare these days.
We are so grateful for the outstanding care and compassion we received from Dr. Raza and his team. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a doctor who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about his patients and their families.
