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 recommended this doctor and this practice to a family member and I am embarrassed after what they experienced. Pawned off a host of previously diagnosed medical issues (some of which at times become life-threatening and require medical intervention) as due to "obesity," instead of actually listening to the patient and offering any kind of helpful input. Pathetic and a complete waste of time.

After going through the difficult process of having to find a new family doctor I had my first visit with Dr. Rao this morning. I could not be more pleased. Patient with my questions. I never felt rushed. He was informative and caring. He was NOT pushy, condescending, or anything negative. I wish I'd made this decision years ago. Oh... and the wait time was only about 5 min.!

Dr Rao is friendly, caring and competent. He has done a great job of managing multiple conditions plus the fallout from a major accident. He is very careful about potential drug interactions. He has done an excellent job helping me manage my overall health.
