Had a persistent cough for weeks. Dr. Rao saw me at Apollo Arilova, got straight to the point, ordered the right tests, and had me on a treatment plan within the hour. No fluff, just fixed it. Exactly what I needed with my schedule.

I was really nervous after my procedure. Dr. Rao checked on me every day, even on the weekend. He explained what the pain should feel like versus what was a problem, which calmed me down a lot. The recovery was rough, but he made sure I knew what to expect at each step. I'm back home now and feeling better every day.

Look, I don't like doctors. But I had to go. Dr. Rao was good. He listened, didn't talk down to me, and gave it to me straight. The hospital's big and parking's a hassle, but he was worth it.

My whole family has been going to Dr. Rao for years. Last month, I had this weird fatigue and dizziness that came out of nowhere. I waited a bit, hoping it would pass, but it didn't. He spent a long time with me, asking about everything—my sleep, stress at work, even what I'd been eating. He connected dots I didn't see and figured it was a vitamin deficiency mixed with stress. Started the supplements he suggested, made a few changes, and I feel like myself again. It's that kind of thorough thinking that keeps us going back.
