I so appreciate the low key and supportive way the doctor handles her patient. She is direct but explanatory as well as caring and smart. I hope to have her as my endocrinologist forever. I highly recommend Dr Gundu Rao.

Anna Claire did a great job making me feel comfortable which was appreciated because i was feeling anxious about this appointment. She was kind and friendly- you could tell she loves her job. Dr Rao was very knowledgeable and included me in a treatment plan that I was comfortable with. she took extra time with me and I appreciated that. Front desk was efficient and I didn't have a long wait. A++ to Dr Rao's team.
