May seem short but good listener. Confident with a good humor. On computer, but efficient and kinda personal. Smart person and simple explain with complicated things. Seem like good man but make lot of money. Fair careful treatment and has caring way and is real when not a good patient.

I worked alongside Dr. Rao for a little over a year before I moved on to another area. Dr. Rao is very intelligent. He is a to the point doctor but he is great at explaining disease process to the patient. I haven't found another Dr. that I respect more than him. Anyone lucky enough to have him should know that he takes pride in his job and he is always trying his best to make sure his patient is healthy.
