Patient Experience
Complex hand injury from machinery at work—multiple fractures and nerve concern. Dr. Rao orchestrated a seamless surgery with microsurgical team. His confidence was contagious during a scary time.
Routine check-up turned into a lifesaver when Dr. Rao detected an irregular heartbeat I’d ignored. His insistence on further testing uncovered a treatable condition. Vigilant doesn’t even cover it.
Elderly neighbor living alone collapsed—we brought her in. Dr. Rao treated her with such dignity and urgency, coordinating social care post-discharge. He goes beyond medicine.
Severe allergic reaction after bee sting—swelling, breathing trouble. Dr. Rao administered epinephrine and monitored me with hawk-like intensity until I was out of woods. Calmly brilliant.
My husband had a stroke symptoms at home. Dr. Rao’s team moved like a well-oiled machine—CT, meds, neurology consult all under 30 minutes. His leadership in the ER is palpable.
Follow-up for my son’s concussion—Dr. Rao took time to discuss return-to-school protocols and warning signs without rushing. Felt like we had a partner in recovery.
Came in with abdominal pain—Dr. Rao’s differential diagnosis was impressively broad. Ruled out everything from gastritis to appendicitis with methodical skill. Left with answers, not doubts.
Industrial chemical splash to the eyes—Dr. Rao irrigated and treated with such speed and precision, saving my vision. His expertise in trauma is unmistakable.
A 12-year-old street vendor's daughter from a low-income family presented with persistent headaches. Dr. Wali's contrast-enhanced MRI revealed an unusual arteriovenous malformation near the brainstem. His precise imaging guidance enabled minimally invasive embolization, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms within three weeks with no neurological deficits.
A 78-year-old retired professor with complex cardiac history developed unexplained abdominal pain. Dr. Wali identified a rare mesenteric artery dissection through CT angiography that others had missed. His detailed radiological report guided conservative management, avoiding unnecessary surgery. The patient recovered fully with medication over two months.
A 32-year-old software engineer from an affluent background underwent routine health screening where Dr. Wali's meticulous review of low-dose CT chest incidentally detected early-stage lung cancer in a non-smoker. Early intervention led to complete cure with minimally invasive surgery, changing the patient's perspective on preventive healthcare.
A 45-year-old construction worker with limited healthcare access presented with worsening back pain. Dr. Wali's MRI revealed tuberculosis spondylitis mimicking malignancy. His accurate diagnosis allowed targeted antibiotic therapy instead of aggressive biopsy, with the patient returning to work after six months of treatment.
A pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation was referred for fetal MRI after questionable ultrasound findings. Dr. Wali identified a correctable congenital diaphragmatic hernia using advanced sequences that minimized fetal exposure. His imaging guided successful in-utero intervention, resulting in normal delivery and healthy infant.
A 60-year-old farmer with chronic kidney disease presented with hematuria. Dr. Wali's contrast-free MRI urogram technique avoided nephrotoxic agents and uncovered an early transitional cell carcinoma. His innovation enabled timely treatment while preserving renal function, with the patient maintaining dialysis-free status.
A teenage athlete from an upper-middle-class family suffered recurrent shoulder dislocations. Dr. Wali's dynamic MR arthrogram revealed a previously undiagnosed bipolar bone loss pattern. His precise measurements guided customized surgical repair, allowing return to competitive sports within four months.
An immigrant laborer with language barriers presented with seizures. Dr. Wali used limited-sequence MRI protocols to identify neurocysticercosis while minimizing costs. His diagnosis enabled targeted antiparasitic treatment, with complete seizure freedom achieved within three months using affordable medication.
A 55-year-old shopkeeper with diabetes presented with foot ulcer. Dr. Wali's multiparametric MRI with diffusion weighting accurately delineated osteomyelitis extent without radiation, preventing unnecessary amputation. Targeted antibiotic therapy led to healing over eight weeks with limb preservation.
A young woman with family history of cancer underwent screening breast MRI where Dr. Wali identified multifocal DCIS using computer-aided detection. His early diagnosis allowed breast-conserving surgery instead of mastectomy, with the patient maintaining excellent cosmetic outcome and no recurrence at two-year follow-up.
An elderly dementia patient from a nursing home presented with sudden neurological decline. Dr. Wali's emergency CT perfusion study revealed reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome rather than stroke. Correct diagnosis prevented thrombolysis risks, with near-complete recovery following blood pressure management.
A middle-aged corporate executive with stressful lifestyle underwent coronary CT angiography where Dr. Wali identified non-calcified vulnerable plaque using advanced plaque characterization. This prompted aggressive medical therapy that prevented impending myocardial infarction, fundamentally changing the patient's approach to health.
