This man must have his medical license revoked permanently, after 4 yrs I only got so much sicker under his medical supervision, this man is such a horrible practicing doctor he is trying too escape his practice trying too run into ACADEMIA too indoctrinate medical students with his infectious perversion of medicine

Awful doctor, solely profit driven and could care less about the patient. He will write any script, he’s that kind of dr. A crook

Very rude man. Does not like being told no, even for clinical reasons. Very poor phone etiquette as well.

He took my money and dropped out of sight. No one answers the phone during regular office hours, and has not returned my calls. I put so much of myself into the service he offers...I just don't know what to think.

Pill mill doctor right here! Doesn't care about helping anyone just likes the money coming in and having you set up multiple appointments to get that money then discharges you with no notice. Could care less if you actually need meds and overdosed me on what he prescribed.

He is good for suboxone patients with co-exisisting mental illness. Although he is a very good doctor and good at his job, I personally always had a hard time feeling comfortable talking to him and so just going to my appointments caused lots of anxiety. That is not all Dr. Rao's fault that I experienced anxiety just from going to my appointments with him but he should have noticed my anxiety (which he did to a degree) because it is very noticeable when I'm anxious
