Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have known Chris Rao for 50 years and was very good friends with his dad and brothers. Drop me a line if you have time

I have always been very satisfied after my visits to Dr. Rao's office. The Staff is friendly and professional, I never have had to wait more than 10 min., and I have felt that Dr. Rao spent enough time with me, never has appeared to be rushed, and is knowledgeable in Medicine and Diet. Highly recommend.

This is the second appointment with Dr. Rao. We recently moved to Florida from Ohio and my husband has significant medical issues. Dr. Rao and his entire staff provide courteous and kind service with excellent communication and explanation of medical test results and ways to improve your health. We absolutely love Dr. Rao and his entire staff who treat you with respect and take the extra step to make sure all your questions are answered. They provide great follow up also.

He has been my family doctor for almost 15 years when I lived in Stuart. Now, I am living in Port St. Lucie West in an assisted living facility & had to move to a closer office. He always was very attentive to his patient's needs & took care of their needs. Very knowledgeable about many forms of medical needs. Wish he practiced up here in PSL!

I wouldn't him to a dog. He is never in his office, and pawns the patient on nurse practitioners. What a waste of time he is. Not professional at all. I see it says family medicine. He probable doesn't see the family either. This man should not be allowed to practice.

Dr Rao was very unfeeling and unsympathetic with my medical needs. He indirectly accused me of being a drug user. I would never suggest him to anyone. He is power hungry, and rude.

Had to change Drs due to new health plan. This place is amateur hour. Starting from the first day they screwed up every appt and prescription they touched. Gave them a few chances to correct this mess but to no avail. They do not understand they are deal in with peoples health and well being. They are not running a Taco stand just putting out he wrong orders. I would be interested to know how many people they have hurt with their unprofessional manner. There are plenty of other good Drs around.
