Dr. Rao kept treating my 91 year old mom for high blood pressure and totally misdiagnosed her. She ended up in the hospital. Dr Rao and my mom's PCP had her on 22 different medications between them. I came from Texas to accompanied my mom to her visit with Dr Rao. She was rude, angry, and spoke in a demeaning and condescending manner to us when I asked her to reconcile all these medicines she was on. NEVER AGAIN!

Very quick in putting together my long medical history with a lot of test results and consultations with different specialists. I had been still confused about my own medical condition until she explained it to me in simple words with such clarity! She has a pleasant countenance and her bedside manner is also commendable.

The Dr. was so quick in summing up everything after reviewing all the papers with so much of history, varied tests over a long time done on my father at different places. She heard us and examined my mother with patience and concern. She did wonders for my mother. My mother has never felt so good before, and I am so happy. I'll recommend this doctor very highly to all my friends and anyone.
