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.

Very caring.

I have followed Dr Rao from her early years at the Family medical clinic in Temperance. Wherever she moved her practice I followed her and encouraged her. I have experienced some challenging medical issues and she is by far the best MD I could have chosen. Very smart, compassionate, always looking for any symptom or test result that may require closer attention. And will talk to you about everything until you feel comfortable about your situation. I trust my life to her medical care. She is just a good person

Dr. Rao is the kindest and most compassionate doctor I’ve ever had. She knows her patients, never rushes and is very thorough. Even if I see a specialist I still run things by her because I trust her completely. She also has a delightful laugh!

Dr. Rao is excellent. She listens to you, shows care for you, researches problems you have, prescribes medication based on efficacy and best practices rather than most expensive, has a nice office staff and takes time to explain conditions. She will send you to appropriate specialists, if necessary, and does a good job monitoring health status. Knowledgeable, professional, caring.
