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.

Best Doctor ever!
Fantastic bedside manner. Informative, caring, helpful, and honest. Wish my whole family could be under his care. Many of the reasons we trusted our sons life in his more then capable hands. He is funny too!

Dr. Rao has amazing bedside manners. Wish we could still see him. He set the bar high and other neurologists pale in comparison to him.

Such a good and caring doctor with kids. He assessed my daughter by playing with her and she didn't even feel it. I was in shock how well he performed and she didn't put a fight or not even screamed. I wish i could give him 10 stars
