Patient Reviews
Apr 24, 2023
Dr. Rao was very kind, knowledgeable, and an extremely clear communicator. He asked good questions, listened to and considered my responses, observed and manipulated my posture to assess my functionality and pain levels, completed a very thorough assessment including x-rays and an MRI, and made solid recommendations for my activities, continued PT, etc. I would highly recommend Dr. Rao to patients experiencing back pain.
