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.

Outstanding!!!!
Dr. Rao is thorough and precise. There is a method to all he does. He’s the only one in 10 years that has offered my daughter a solution and a reason. Doctor after Dr. after Dr. failed to identify the cause of her migraines when it was a very simple right in your face reason. Dr. Rao is kind, compassionate, and brilliant, I recommend him highly, although he may appear unconventional and someways his heart, and his mind is in the right place
