Dr. Rao has been my children's doctor for over a decade. He always enters the room with a smile. He's very comforting and knowledgeable. He will do everything in his power to assist his patients. He treats my family like they're his own. He has a great sense of humor. He helped bring my son out of his shell. I am so fortunate to have found this incredible guy!

Dr. Rao is one of the best I've met. He listens and doesn't rush you for the next patient. Excellent physician.

He treats my one year old as if he is his own. I would not change doctors for anything. Dr Rao is amazing at his work with children.
