Dr. Rammohan S Rao, MD

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
