I had a very good experience. They listened to my issues, my symptoms, and they came up with a good plan of care for me. Overall, I would recommend anyone who has the same or similar issues to go and visit Dr. Rao. That's the only doctor I've met.

August 30, 2025

Dr. Rao is an excellent doctor. I would recommend him highly to anyone who needs this treatment. Any type of service that he has, that he treats for the gastroenterology and the digestive, he is very, very professional. Thank you.

Dr Rao and his office staff were incredible. There was a mix-up in our scheduled appointment but he worked me into his busy schedule. After traveling 5 hours to get there I was very impressed and pleased that Dr Rao was able to see me. I can never think him and his staff enough. I was at the point of getting desperate for help.

July 22, 2025

5

Dr Rao is without question an exceptional gastroenterologist and PhD. I'm very, very fortunate to have been referred to him. I am confident that if anyone can solve my gastro issues, it will be him and his team and colleagues. It is rare these days to meet someone with his depth of knowledge and expertise, his incredible bedside manner that puts your heart at ease, and his incredible accuracy and quickness in determining appropriate next steps. His nurse practitioner is excellent too- quite a team. I trust him completely...
