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.

Dr Faye Rao, Dothan AL
Dr. Faye Rao is a very sincere and dedicated physician. She is very thorough and professional physician. We transferred our treatment from an Orlando based cardiologist, and are very pleased with the treatment we receive from Dr. Rao.

Wonderful doctor to patient experience
New to the area and having had another cardiologist for 35 years I was a bit apprehensive but as soon as she walked in and asked me about myself and my cardiac history I felt like this is where I needed to be..she listened to me and then she also shared her background in cardiology which I appreciated. I might add the office personnel are so friendly and helpful. Very glad I found Dr. Rao !

Explain to Dr. Faye that I just moved here from Houston. Texas lived there since 1976. Was very used to my doctors in Houston as Houston has very good technology. Proceeded to go over all of my medical history, PTSD, anxiety, fathers, heart condition, etc. at the end she pointed to her self appointed to me and said this is not gonna work. I said excuse me in shock she said I can’t see you I can’t help you. Still in shock. Excuse me I can’t see you I can’t help you you need to leave. I said, can I ask why she said because “ I am not a Houston doctor“. I was completely shocked. I had never in my life been treated by a professional this way, and surely not ever by any of my “Houston” doctors. As I was leaving one of her staff try to console me Dr Faye Rao responded. Leave her alone she will be fine and told me to just leave. I have never in my life been treated by a doctor this way. Then 3 days later I get some of my medical records FedEx back to me excluding the ones from my cardiologist! She should be there to help others not for the $$$. Her office staff is great! I will pray for her. God Bless

Intelligent & Caring Doctor
I was very impressed with the office staff and Dr. Faye Rao. The staff was friendly and helpful. The office was clean, updated, and beautifully decorated. Dr. FayeRao is one the smartest and respectful doctors I have been treated by. And I’m in my 50s! So that’s a lot of doctors. She took the time to listen, did not push ?? meds on me right away, but recommended some tests. She has many years of education and training. She is intelligent , knowledgeable, personable, and kind. I left her office feeling cared for, respected, and listened to. I’m looking forward to getting my test results back and being treated for my health issues by her.

My heart Doctor is awesome!!!!
Have been a patient with the Rao's for years. Having AFIB at a younger age it is comforting the way they explain what I am going through when I have an episode. Her communication is the best and am really lucky to have her and her team looking out for my heart health.
