Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but what really made a difference was how Dr. Rao handled the recovery. He didn't just send me home with pills. He explained what the pain should feel like day by day, when to worry, and gave me a clear plan. I was nervous about getting hooked on pain meds, but he was really careful about that. Follow-up was good toohis nurse actually called to check on me.
As someone who manages a team, I appreciate clear communication and efficiency. Dr. Rao diagnosed my persistent stomach issue in two visits where others took months. He listened, ordered the right tests without fluff, and explained the treatment plan in simple terms. Got me back to 100% with minimal time off work. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I don't like doctors. Went in for a check-up because my wife made me. Dr. Rao was straight with me. Told me my blood pressure was too high, explained why it mattered without scaring me to death, and gave me a plan. No sugar-coating. I'm doing the stuff he said and it's working. Parking at that hospital is always a nightmare, though.
I'd been feeling run down for weeks. Just tired all the time. My usual doctor retired, so I booked with Dr. Rao at Medicover. At first, I thought he was quiet, but he asked all the right questionsstuff I hadn't even thought was connected. He remembered small details from my first visit when I went back for results. Turned out to be a vitamin deficiency and a minor thyroid thing. He walked me through the report line by line until I got it. The whole process, from the first anxious visit to finally feeling like myself again, he was just... solid. Felt like he was genuinely figuring it out with me.
