Patient Reviews
Sep 07, 2024
My husband is a recoverin lung cancer patient and was referred to Dr. Rao because of some abnormalities in his CT scan. She was excellent in going through his scan, explaining each section, and then prescribed an inhaler for his emphysema. She was attuned to his concerns and mine. She's a great doctor. I'm glad we were referred to Austin Pulmonary and really glad we have Dr. Rao as our pulmonologist.
