Patient Reviews
Jun 03, 2022
Blessed relief! Dr. Rao took his time, listened to my symptoms and the effects of having 15+ migraines per month... and immediately prescribed a new injectable migraine Rx which has prevented all migraines and headaches now for 2 months. Zero headaches or migraines. Huge difference in my life. I'm a thrilled new patient. The office staff was excellent as well. I'm a sound patient for 22 years/3 neurosurgeries...I see a *lot* of specialists. The team here was excellent and I will recommend them to friends and family.
