Like all the other reviews I have seen, Dr. Rao is the best. I tore my bicep tendon on June 14th. I was able to see Dr. Rao that very day, and given the bad experience of the injury, my experience from that meeting forward was nothing but exceptional. To summarize why I feel this way:
- She called me herself to give me the results of the MRI on my arm that very same evening - never had a doctor do that before
- She talked WITH me, not TO me at all the pre and post surgery consultations, giving me all the information I needed to feel comfortable and answer any questions I may have had
- The surgery went very well, and like other patients, very minimal pain which did not require the medication prescribed
- Her staff works exceptionally well as a team, and a special call out to Tim Newell, who was a pleasure to see and work with
- Comments from my physical therapist (Mark Roser - Athletico Western Hills), where he said he has seen patients of Dr. Rao, as well as other patients with similar surgical repairs, and how much better the Dr. Rao patients are in terms of the first visit and how quickly they improve.
I could go on and on, but you probably would stop reading. If you need an orthopedic surgeon, you need to contact Dr. Rao. read more
