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've been going to Dr. Rao for over 20 years, he's very personable, friendly, almost like family. He listen but doesn't always hear what you are saying. I think he's so intune to what happens on each visit he sometimes miss some of the details you tell him. Would I change doctors, no not as long as I can say " Dr. RAO, you're not listening to me". He just smiles and slows down and listen. His staff Roxanna and Tammy are like my family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rao for probably two decades. I moved 100 miles away and I still travel back to Bowie to see him as my pcp. He is awesome!!!

Very good doctor. Doesn't just send you out with a script, more interested in your overall well-being. In my opinion Dr. Rao is one of the best PCP's in the area. I highly recommend him.
