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.

Extremely Rude and Unprofessional I was asking questions about his experience in this field because I don’t know him very well and my mom was seeing him and he basically told me to shut up. Not to mention that he gave her an antibiotic that almost killed her , I said to him please by all means contact your pharmacy or her PCP to let her ask them to see what it is she is allergic to. He never did that He the most laziest doctors I’ve ever come across. He expects the patient to do all the legwork to go out and get x-rays done from the hospital which you’re not allowed to do, go get copies of a CD scan that was done . He doesn’t lift a finger to help the patient he expects the patient’s family to do everything for him. Well shouldn’t we all be put on the payroll then?

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rao?
Rao was my parents PC. He treated me like trash when I would bring them to see him. Last July I tried telling him that my Dads Portable pulse Oxygen was not enough for him. Rao refused to listen and stormed out of the room when I suggested my Dad see a Lung doctor. Didn't know he was because he did nothing for him. Rao said he had COPD and it was actually Pulmonary Fibrosis. Changed PC.Took me a month to fix his portable OX so my dad's OX was in the 70's when he was out and He died this Jan 25.
