Patient Reviews
Jun 05, 2024
My husband suffered from a seizure in June 2022. Biopsy was done and pathology revealed a low grade glioma tumor on his frontal lobe. We were referred to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston with Dr. Jacob Mandel and Dr. Ganesh Rao. Dr. Rao made us feel at ease from the moment he stepped into the room. He was able to do a safe maximal resection and my husband is stable with no regrowth to this date. Our current neuro-oncologist said she has never seen such pristine margins from a resection. What beautiful work she tells us! We are forever grateful to Dr. Rao and if he ever needs surgery again, we are going to request Dr. Rao. You're in safe hands with Dr. Rao.
