Dr. Rao's entire office staff are warm, friendly, and efficient. Dr. Rao, no matter how busy the office seems to be, takes the time and gives her efforts to be thorough in her visit with me. I look forward to visiting again in a year. I always walk away from that office with a smile, knowing that if I should need her, she will be there for me.

Dr. Rao and Marisa are one of a kind. Trying to beat breast cancer difficult enough, so it's honestly the best feeling coming in and being greeted by these sweet lovely ladies. Dr. Rao is intricately involved in my case, which I am more than grateful for. Dr. Rao is so smart and explains things in simple ways, even drawing me a diagram to help me understand. Thank you Misty and all the staff who help me!

Came into office, was called in about 7 minutes. Dr. Rao read & wrote an extensive report as she always does & asked a lot of questions. Wore a mask, maybe she should have worn gloves. She gave ideas and a referral to another specialist. Staff is always efficient & friendly.

Dr. Rao is a wonderful doctor. She actually listens to what a patient has to say, and looks at the whole picture before determining next steps. She takes the time and has the patience to explain everything to you. Highly recommend her!

Dr.Rao explained everything to me and answered my questions. Then she sent her actual notes she wrote during the visit to me by mail so I could see them again!

Patient needs Dr to listen effectively, follow up, and write a report to MD that is actionable and understood by referring Doctor. Case is now in limbo due to MD not having received a clear, comprehensive, and actionable report.
