Been going to Dr Rao for years. Very straightforward, gives a game plan with expectations and signs to look for if things are moving in the right direction or not. Knowledgeable about the latest medications & procedures. Explains pros & cons of medications/procedures very thoroughly! That more can I say? She's really thorough & I trust her advice!
