My father was admitted with a sudden, severe stomach pain. We were all scared. Dr. Rao came in, sat with us, and explained everything in simple wordswhat the scans showed, what the options were. He didn't rush us. He answered my mother's questions twice, calmly. The parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, but once we were with him, we felt we were in good hands. Dad's doing much better now.

Went to see Dr. Rao for a second opinion. Straight talk, no sugar-coating. He looked at all the reports, asked a few pointed questions, and laid out a clear plan. Didn't waste our time or money on unnecessary tests. It was a relief to finally have someone cut through the noise and tell us exactly what we were dealing with.

My husband was very anxious about his procedure. I was too. Dr. Rao has a very gentle way about him. He spoke softly, made sure we both understood each step, and even remembered a small concern I'd mentioned the day before. The hospital was busy, we waited a bit, but his manner made the whole experience less frightening. We're deeply grateful.

After weeks of feeling run-down and getting nowhere, we met Dr. Rao. What a difference! He actually listened, connected the dots other doctors missed, and figured it out. We walked out with a diagnosis and a treatment that worked. I wanted to shout with relief! The man knows his stuff. If you're feeling lost, go see him.
