Patient Reviews
Jan 01, 2025
Dr Rao repaired my torn rotator cuff and it couldn’t have gone better. Everyone warned me that this surgery comes with a super long and painful recovery but my experience was way easier than I expected. Dr Rao’s surgery left very little scaring or pain and my recovery was faster than expected. About a year later my shoulder feels better and is stronger than the other one. She’s a great surgeon and I would definitely recommend her.
