Dr. Rao has been my primary care provider for over 23 years. He is a truly caring physician and always follows-up. He will also spend as much time with you answer your question and if you should present with highly unusual symptoms or fail to respond in a timely manner Dr. Rao will schedule an appointment with an appropriate specialist. He is exactly what a neighborhood, family practice doctor should be. Im sure very few can measure up to Dr. Rao.

Dr. Rao is very methodical in his approach. He patiently discusses with the person on the history of the problem and does not assume anything. He is up-to-date with the technology and is well-read in the field. He doesn't try to take all things into his hand. He would rather suggest you to see an expert in the particular field that you need help in and even get the quickest appointment possible.
