As a pediatric heart specialist, I work with patients and their families to diagnose and manage birth heart defects, acquired heart conditions, sports medicine concerns, chest pain, fainting and heart palpitations. I encourage patient and family education, mentoring and coaching them to the best heart-healthy lifestyle possible. I routinely coordinate care with partners here, as well as other specialists within Prisma Health, and across South Carolina and beyond. I love the outdoors, art, photography, adventures with family, and teaching colleagues around the world. It has been my continued privilege to serve families here in the Upstate since 1994. I look forward to serving your family as needed.

Absolutely Outstanding Pediatric Cardiologist
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Raunikar. My daughter has been under his care since the day she was born, and the level of compassion, expertise, and dedication we've experienced is truly unmatched. From the very beginning, he made one of the scariest moments of our lives feel manageable. His calm, confident presence has given us peace every step of the way.
He takes the time to explain every detail in a way that's easy to understand, never making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. The patience he shows with my daughter -- and the genuine connection he's built with her -- means the world to us. You can tell he truly cares about his patients, not just medically, but emotionally as well.
Appointments with Dr. Raunikar are thorough, comforting, and incredibly professional. He always listens to our concerns, remembers the smallest details, and celebrates every milestone with us. It's rare to find a doctor who combines exceptional medical skill with such extraordinary kindness, but he does exactly that.
Because of Dr. Raunikar, my daughter's journey has been filled with reassurance instead of fear. We trust him completely and are beyond grateful for the incredible care he's provided from day one.
If you're looking for a pediatric cardiologist who treats your child like his own, goes above and beyond, and consistently delivers top-tier care, I can confidently say you won't find anyone better.
Truly a blessing to our family.

Our first visit with Dr. Raunikar was great. He went through all of our son's test results, explained everything clearly, and reassured us that he was doing just fine. He even ordered one extra test just to be sure, which really showed how thorough he is. He was super helpful, took the time to listen, and answered all our questions without rushing us. We left feeling relieved and well taken care of.

Dr. Raunikar is like a lifeline in the world of healthcare for our family. His compassion is genuine, and it's evident in every interaction we have with him. He's not just a doctor; he's become a trusted part of our lives, caring for both of my children with such dedication and kindness.
What truly stands out about Dr. Raunikar is his unwavering commitment to ensuring we have all the information we need. He never rushes through appointments; instead, he takes the time to address every concern thoroughly. In a world where time feels like a scarce resource, his willingness to give us his undivided attention is priceless.The office staff deserve a shoutout too. They're always quick to respond, friendly, and a pleasure to talk to, adding even more positivity to our visits.
If there was a way to give Dr. Raunikar and his team more than five stars, I would!

I should have been done this! Dr. Raunikar is so amazing! My oldest daughter was born with two holes in her heart and my husband and I were terrified. But Dr. Raunikar ensured us that the holes would close up ( which they did) and she would be fine! Now, she is a very active young lady til this day. I highly recommend Dr.Raunikar if you have a child or children with any heart conditions. Thank you Dr. Raunikar.
