Patient Reviews
Aug 04, 2022
Dr Rao will talk down to you and discard your disability because she has seen patients she says that are “worse off”. She actually said if your not over 57 or wheelchair bound she will not consider you as having a disability. It will take months to get in to see her if you need her and then she will blame you for not taking care of your health. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone.
