Dr. Nagamani Chakunta Rao, MD

Extremely unprofessional and unpleasant. Please read comments on the doctor's website. There are many comments about being called for follow-ups so extra and additional co-pays can be collected. In my case, I was forced to overpay for services which were covered by my insurance and refusing to pay back when the insurance has paid them in full. This was an in network doctor but the staff failed to verify insurance before the appointment. There was so much back and forth to try and reaolve the issue about charges and co-pay. Staff is rude and lazy.

I haven't saw Dr. Rao since 1992 when another Doctor had told me after looking at an ultrasound that they believed I had a cancerous tumor. I was in my late 20's and my youngest son 4 years old. I was very upset and started looking for another Doctor for a second opinion. I found Dr. Rao, who after checking me out let me know that no tumor existed but that my cervix did not close back smoothly and there was a small dimple at the closure.

Shes the most caring and compassionate dr .she took time with me and explained everything to me and is very comcerned with my fears and anxiety .I am so happy I found her...

I was referred to Dr. Rao because I was suffering from horrible, heavy menstrual cycles. I kept a journal for 30 days and discovered that I was in pain with a level of 6 or more for 27 of those days and my previous ob couldn't figure out what the problem was. I went to Dr. Rao and she spent a LOT of time with my husband and I and discussed every test result and explained every detail. She allowed us to ask questions and we never felt rushed. When she is performing an exam or running a test, she tells you everything that is going to happen so that you are prepared in advance. She is extremely friendly and I have never met a doctor with a better bedside manner. I eventually ended up have a hysterectomy for ademiosis. She makes sure that you are absolutely clear that a hysterectomy is a major surgery. she is NOT one of those doctors that just decides to "take it out" if it's giving you problems. Dr. Rao tries every other less invasive procedure possible and looks at hysterectomy… as a last resort, which I found very comforting. Even when she believed the hysterectomy was the best option, she was very clear that having major surgery is a decision that I needed to make. I did go to the Womens Center for a 2nd opinion and the doctor their told me that Dr. Rao was absolutely correct that hysterectomy was the best option and even complimented Dr. Rao and said that "she is an excellent surgeon" and that I was in "excellent hands." Dr. Rao was very attentive when I was in the hospital and even after I got home. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anybody and everybody!!!

Dr. Nagamani Rao is very caring and considerate. She gives you enough time to ask questions and her answers and recommendations are great. Its great to have such an awesome doctor in this area. Besides her, the staff over there are very courteous.

I was referred to Dr. Rao by my regular OBGYN, because I've had 2 miscarriages in a row. She felt that Dr. Rao could get to the bottom of what was going on. Dr. Rao seemed very concerned and ordered all the tests that I expected her to order. She did an exam on my first appointment and ordered blood-work. I'm very pleased with her so far. She seemed very caring and spent quite a bit of time with me. All of my questions were answered without even having to ask them.

I recommend she is the best doctor in the town

Having to sit for over an hour can make you sick. An thats what this dr did. She is very hard to understand and like some other drs she believes once a c section always a c section and women were ment to give birth naturally which is why I am switching drs and I will not recommend anyone to her.

The wait time can be a little long, but when you know you are seeing the best doctor in the area, you shouldn't be surprised that everyone wants her. Besides my attitude is that I don't want her to rush with me, so if I have to wait a little longer than normal, so be it. Dr. Rao diagnosed me with Breast Cancer and referred me to MD Anderson Cancer Center, but she didn't just forget about me. Dr. Rao has contacted me several times to see how things are going and to make sure that I am doing well. How many Doctors take the time to do that kind of follow up. I've been going to her for over 19 years, and would recommend her to anyone and everyone that wants a doctor who cares.

SHE HAS BEEN MY DOCTOR SINCE I WAS 14 YRS OLD AND HAS DELIVERED ALL MY KIDS, SHE IS LIKE ONE OF MY FAMILY AND WHEN OUR BABY DAYS WERE OVER I WENT TO HER TO CORRECT THAT AS WELL, YES SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WAIT CAUSE HSE LEAVES TO DELIVER A BABY BUT THATS THE WAY IT IS, GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT. AT LEAST YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR BABY SHE WILL BE THERE AND NOT SOME ON CALL DOCTOR.
