Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Rao?
Referred to Dr. Rao by both my cardio & family Dr’s to evaluate for “next level” of surgical needs and I am very happy they did. Dr. Rao & Staff have all been very helpful, courteous and thoro every step of the way, initial visit through post-op. Will definitely be recommending him as often as I can. Bonus points awarded to Dr. Evans for the late night oncall discussion walking my wife & I (again) through the post operative process and what to expect :)
