Patient Reviews
May 09, 2024
Dr. Rao is incredible; I have been following with her for several years. She is personable, takes her time at each appointment and helped me when other doctors were unable to. Furthermore, she is so responsive with relaying test results and answering questions - she is the best physician I have ever had.
