My daughter insisted I see a doctor for this persistent cough. I must admit, I was a bit nervous about going to a big hospital like Star Hospital. Dr. Rao put me at ease immediately. He didn't rush me, listened carefully to my old stories, and explained everything about my bronchitis in a way I could understand. The treatment was simple and effective. He has a very calming way about him.

I was feeling very run down for weeks, just not myself. It's hard to describe. Dr. Rao was so kind. He took the time to really listen, asked gentle questions, and figured out it was a vitamin deficiency and stress. He didn't make me feel silly for being worried. I left feeling heard and with a clear plan to feel better. Thank you.

Wow, what a difference! I'd been dealing with this nagging joint pain for months, and my regular doc just kept saying it was age. Dr. Rao actually looked at the whole picture. He asked about my diet, my routine, everything! Turns out it was a simple inflammation thing. The meds he suggested worked in like, three days! I can finally play with my grandkids without wincing. So glad I went!
