Dr. Rammohan S Rao, MD

Dr Rao will lie right to your face. We had biopsies done on a certain day. We asked him to call asap with the results. The results were known the day after the biopsy. HE SIGNED OFF ON THEM, but still waited til the follow up appointment a month later. He walked into the room telling us HE just found out. I asked him whose signature was on the sign off on the results the day after the test then. He also proceeded to tell us he couldn't do the referrals to oncology, then said he would. We never got a referral to him. My partner started coughing up blood and was take through a different provider in the ER and the consults were put in. DO NOT TRUST HIM OR HIS STAFF to fill out any paperwork. They don't.

ALL office staff with the exception of Zoe are rude and unprofessional. Not willing to help or offer assistance. I was told that "nobody" tells Dr. Rao what to do, after I suggested he participate in a peer to peer evaluation with my insurance company, because the order for a CT scan he sent to them did NOT include the actual medical reasons for the request. Very difficult to actually get someone to answer their phones, and when they do - they act/communicate as if I am disturbing them. If anyone would like further details, please reach out as I am happy to share my less than stellar experience with his practice. I've cancelled my upcoming appointment and will be looking for a new pulmonologist to work with.

Dr Rao is knowledgeable and caring. He looks a you as a whole person and gets the big picture. Wish he were a primary care doctor!

I was recommended to Dr. Rao because I seem to fall asleep all of the time, sometimes during a conversation. During my first visit, Dr. Rao suspected I might have sleep apnea. I went and did the whole sleep center bit (bring your own pillow; theirs were as flat as my hand), but was not told or even given the option of a "free-standing" sleep center. My bill for this one time deal was $1,500 out of pocket (plus $100 total for only two office visits). Should I have checked my insurance first? Of course. But again, I wasn't even given the option. During my second office visit, I was told I did not have sleep apnea, but was being set up for a daytime sleep study to find out how often I fall asleep. With a condenscending tone, Dr. Rao told me to keep a "sleep journal" for three weeks prior to the study, plus wear a bracelet during the same amount of time to see if my sleep journal and when I was actually falling asleep matched up. Like I was lying about falling asleep all of the time? I… came to Dr. Rao for help, but it seemed to me he just wanted a paycheck. After getting the hefty bill, I called back to see if I could try a perscription that Dr. Rao was considering putting me on, and THEN was told that a "free-standing" sleep center would only set me back about $50. Seriously? That couldn't have been mentioned sooner? My chart clearly stated that I was separated, and I had mentioned just moving here. Being in my 20's, newly single, and just moved, I'm obviously not Ms. Money-bags. Being that I'm anti-medical collection, I paid the bill as soon as I got it. Now I don't have the money to get the help I need. I'd recommend seeing another specialist if you are experiencing my same issues; Dr. Rao obiously isn't in the people business.

was dignoised with nap/cat.i had no life prier to seeing him slept my life away had hallusination it seem night after night.he help me so much with this disorder, though i know i cant drive when i have sleeping spells, but he is caring and understanding doc.if it wasnt for him treating me to this day, honestly i dont think i would be alive, why cause this disorder was affecting my driving,. thanks to him i do have my life back

Dr. Rao was the admitting doctor to Select hosptial after being cared fro by Dr. Stringfield. Dr. Rao disregarded all transfer orders and caused my father-in-law to experience a set back of of 6 to 8 weeks. Dr. Rao admitted that he had not read my father-in-law's chart nor did he intend to read the chart "he did not have time for this"! Obviously the nurses at Select had not read the chart either. I supposse they were operating on the word of Dr. Rao who stated that ;my father-in-law had stage IV cancer and end stage COPD. Both of which were not true.

hes a caring doctor, and understands his patients needs.hes does nto rush to diganosing which i think is good he looks at the paitent as a whole
