Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2024
I had an amazing experience and my surgery was text book! I had the dream team! The day after the surgery, I didn’t have pain or bruising like i did with a previous surgery by another doctor in town for the same issue. He missed the biggest tumor!! And wanted to wait until I was more ill before surgery. He apologized after the surgery for not resolving the issues and referred me to OHSU. The doctor at OHSU diagnosed the issue the first doctor missed but was unable to do the surgery due to a medical issue of her own. I was referred to Dr. Rao who performed her own analysis, confirmed OHSU findings, and put together a plan. She was very kind, explained everything very thoroughly and BELIEVED me when other doctors were dismissive. She is a fantastic doctor and I trust her completely, hard to do after my experience with doctors I’ve seen. Having lupus (SLE) and my current issues make you feel like you’re crazy but she helped me and was not condescending, lacking the hubris of other docs.
