Dr. Priyadarshini Rao, DO

She is very rude and speaks to elderly patients with disrespect. Very unprofessional.

Unfortunately this is a review specially towards Dr. Rao's staff. The first two times I had been here I was treated poorly. The two front desk ladies that sit there, are not welcoming. My first experience there they seemed uncooperative with anything between new patient paperwork, and their attitudes. My second appointment was today. As I walked in there was only ONE other person than myself that was in the waiting room. They are never busy here. As I went to check in neither one of those two ladies welcomed me, asked me who I was there for, or if I needed something.. I had a handful of new patient paperwork that was clearly in my hand as well. I had to go back up to voluntarily give me ID and insurance card. The entire issue at this office is no one is helpful nor welcoming. As I walked up to the front desk for the third time, they both continued to sit there acting busy at the computer as I waited for over 1 minute just standing there awkwardly waiting to be helped.

She made me feel comfortable the moment she walked into my hospital room. I felt like she tjwas really listening to me and definitely had my best interest first. I thoroughly trusted her. If she said, I'll see you tomorrow you could count on it. She never made me feel like I was taking up too much of her time. Great bedside manner. Very well thought of by the ER doctor and nursing staff on 3rd floor of Largo Med. She was not taking new patients or she would be my permanent doctor.
