    Dr Rao was wonderful. He listened patiently as I recited my medical history, asked pertinent questions, and examined me. He treated me with respect. I was very pleased with my experience during this visit ... and with the followup letter on Patient Gateway.

    Dr Rao was patient and asked quite a few questions - I have a complicated medical history, so I appreciate his thoughtfulness!

  • Reviewed on 8/10/2025

    I appreciate that Dr Rao was familiar with my history, both my medical history and my lifestyle strategies that had worked for me in the past (for example: he discussed how I'd done really well by practicing yoga in the past to address my symptoms).
