Patient Experience
At my age, you want a doctor who listens and doesn't rush you. Dr. Rao was exactly that. The clinic was busy but he made me feel like I had all the time in the world. He explained my arthritis medication in a way I could finally understand. A very kind man.
I've been seeing Dr. Rao for my blood pressure for nearly eight years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and we can just pick up where we left off. He's not one to change a prescription just for the sake of it if what we're doing is working. That consistency is hard to find. I trust his judgment completely.
Had a bad stomach bug. Got an appointment, went in. Dr. Rao sorted it out quick, gave me a clear plan. No fuss. Felt better in two days. Good doctor.
I was really nervous going to Apollo for the first time—it's a big hospital. Parking was a nightmare, I'll admit. But from the moment I walked into Dr. Rao's room, he put me at ease. He didn't just look at my chart; he asked about my job, my stress levels, and connected it all to the migraines I was having. He sketched a little diagram on the notepad to show me the triggers. It wasn't a five-minute visit. He took the time, and I left feeling heard and with a plan that actually worked.
