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.

A great doctor
Dr. Rao is an amazing doctor. She has seen me for many years at the VA. Professional, attentive, friendly and keeps me in check to stay healthy. She is very knowledgeable and I trust her. I give her a 5+ rating

I wish there were more than just 5 stars to give.
Dr. Radha Rao has been my prime care physician at DeBakey Veteran's Medical Hospital in Houston for the past 20 years and she is without doubt the best physician I have ever had in my life. I trust her without question in being in charge of all my medical needs.

Dr. Rao's Baylor Teachings Shine in Her Practice
I’m a retired veteran in Houston who has had the extremely good fortune of having Dr. Rao for my PCP. She is always thorough in her examinations/diagnoses and has a very kind and caring bedside manner. Highly recommended for any veteran utilizing the Houston VA as their primary care facility.

Dr Rao she listened to me first,better than my other doctors before recommending what right procedures and didn’t limit the cost, dealing with the V.A..She should more concern about my health than I did to make me more concern about my health. Dr Rao work very professional and friendly to make me feel comfortable, and always followed up on me!!!

Dr Rao has been my primary care doctor at the VA for 15 years... I could go to a clinic much closer to where I live, but no way would I change doctors. She has been the BEST primary physician I've ever had. She has really helped me on many occasions keeping me healthy... she spends as much time as you need during appointments and I never feel rushed... Thank You is all I can say!!!

Dr. Rao is very thorough and takes an interest in my care and well being. She actually looks at my file, test results, meds and stays on top of my care. She has my trust and I would not go to anyone else for my primary care.
