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.

The very BEST

Best doctor ever!
Dr. Rao is very caring and personable person. He goes beyond what your medical problem may be. He talks to you about your life and what's going on in it. I think he is very thorough and compassionate.

Best Oncologist
Dr Rao has been taken care of my husband’s illness for over a decade. He has become more than just a great provider but, a dear friend. He was able to get his CML into remission and will continue to under see his care. He is not only an excellent physician but, a caring and compassionate human being. We highly recommend him as a provider.

Long time Patient
My last visit was the same as all my visits have been for the past almost 17 yrs, Great! The staff and medical personnel are always very punctual, friendly, caring and concerned about my quality of life and how I’m feeling. I’m so grateful that when I was diagnosed with cancer 17 yrs ago Doctors recommend that I see Dr Rao for treatment. I did and it’s been a very rewarding journey! Dr. Rao and everyone at FCS are the Best!
