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.

She was my children’s doctor. She saved my first child which was a boy, life. She is very knowledgeable and caring and I met her when I was 16 years old. I’m 60 years old now but when I had my last child at 40 she was his doctor until I moved. My daughter had sickle cell, she took wonderful care of her, but then my daughter turned 18 and had to move on worst day she lived to be 20 years old and I always had a problem with the doctors she had. So I say all this to say this doctor Dr. Rao is the best and I love her and thank her for all she has done.
