I went in needing a tummy tuck and muscle repair and I didn't get that. He mentioned to someone who…read morewas in the room during one of my follow ups and he said he did a panniculectomy.. He removed the hanging skin but before my surgery, he did not mark me or anything. I mentioned that i did not like my "dog ears" and he said, "well you look better than you did before!" and then scheduled me for a check up 4 months later. I scheduled an appointment for him to fix my dog ears ASAP! My incision scar is THICK and horrible and my belly button is right through a stretch mark. I wish I did more research and went to a REAL plastic surgeon. I will be going else where to have my stomach fixed, wish I could get my money back. I am currently 6MPO and I absolutely HATE my results.. My front sides still hangs over and i can pull at a lot of skin, above my belly button is still loose and i look pregnant because i did NOT receive muscle repair. Nothing can be fixed because I have posted negative HONEST reviews online. Oh well, I will go to someone with more experience on tummy tucks and revision!

I went to Dr. Dryden for a blocked tear duct. He explained how he was going to open a channel into…read moremy nose. He proceeded to make an alleged channel into my nose but it did NOT work. He made a large ridge, scar, around my eye. I now was supposed to go back for another surgery, this time up thru my nose. After being cleared by my primary Dr. and an ENT Dr., I was set up for my surgery on the 28th. I went to. Joseph Hospital, went thru the registration and was sitting in the waiting room waiting for the nurse to take me back. My phone rang and it was Dryden's office and she told me that he had canceled my surgery. I went out to my car and decided to call back and ask for a reason for the cancellation. The receptionist at Dryden's office said it was due to"the covid". I explained that I had been cleared. She said she would call the Dr and get back to me. After a long wait and no call back I made the call and was told that the Dr. put me back on the schedule. I then went back into the Hospital and went up to the surgery lounge. The receptionist looked at her papers and told me it was cancelled. I told her the Dr. had rescheduled. She contacted the nurse for pre-surgery and she came out and told me she had just spoken with the Dr and he was not going to do my surgery. We live in Hereford,AZ which is a 2 hr drive. We of course got a hotel for 2 nights since we had to be there for a checkup. That cost was $220.00 . So, I made a 2hr drive, got a 2 day stay in motel and NO surgery. The Dr.(?) certainly could have and should have called prior to my trip there since he knew he was not going to do my surgery. If there even was a covid issue, there wasn't, he could have called and ordered a "rapid" test. This Dr.(?) needs to be brought up on total incompetency charges. I would like to see this happen.

I had a breast reduction with an abdominoplasty and 360 liposuction completed in Sept. 2025. From…read morethe consultation and including every interaction to follow, Dr. Rao was very kind, professional, informative and patient with any questions I had. This level of professionalism was also seen while interacting with his office staff, including Patricia, Summer and Este! Communication from front desk, the office manager and Dr. Rao himself is exceptional! My results are incredible! I never could have imagined my "mommy make-over" looking this GOOD! Even with a history of breastfeeding two kids, my breasts are perky and the perfect size! Incisions are barely visible on my breasts and around the nipple. My abdominal scar is more noticeable but can be completely hidden beneath underwear or a swimsuit. I will continue to use scar tape to help the color fade over time. I went from a size 14 in jeans to a size 8. My belly went from fupa to flat and the 360 lipo helped create perfect curves! As expected, the first week involved lots of resting and small movements (with the help of my cheese pillow and a walker). Pain was manageable with RX pain meds in the beginning and then strictly Tylenol through week 4. Post-surgery, Dr. Rao would call and check in with my husband and I to be sure things were on track and I was recovering well. I am entering week 14 and my healing process continues to be going great! I had one small tear at the "T" point beneath my right breast. Dr. Rao monitored the area closely, coached me in how to change the dressing, answered all my questions and assured me it would close without needing additional sutures. All of this was true, the tear closed weeks ago, there was never any pain associated with it and there is zero additional scarring in the area. Aside from being a very common place for a tear due to pressure, I have small children and am very active. I think this may have played a role in creating the tear. I am ecstatic about my results and I am so grateful I chose Dr. Rao as my surgeon! I would recommend him and his staff over and over to others. Dr. Rao's office will be my go-to for any future procedures.

My husband picked out Dr. Rao after working with him at a local hospital. My husband works with…read morehundreds of different physicians in the community from every specialty everyday. When I told my husband that I wanted a mommy make over he did not hesitate to contact Dr. Rao. He told me he is that best, and rest assured he is. I had my breast augmentation done over a month ago, and my results were amazing. He takes time to listen to your concerns and address all of your issues. Most of of all, he isn't reckless. If he doesn't think your implants will fit your body, he will let you know. My best friend thought my boobs were so fantastic, she saw Dr Rao and had a breast augmentation as well. Highly recommended.

I…read morereceived a tummy tuck And she received a lift and reduction one of the worst I've ever seen and later had to go get implants We were highly recommended by him and trusted their judgement . Sadly Dr. Taki should no longer be able to be in practice. I have had the worst issues ever since with my stomach which ive sent numerous emails back and forth with the doctor and his nurse regarding these issues Major pain and bulging my tummy would be flat one week then absolutely bulging the next . It made no sense ! He'd have me drive down To tucson just to tell me to eat more fiber. I've seen 4 doctors for this and not only that the work on the outside it's like something out of a horror movie !!! Spend the extra money and go to someone else .

Please, please, Do NOT let this man do surgery on you! If you do you will Regret it! I'm a hospital…read moreRN & initially trusted him. Big mistake! He has a surgical assistant who will work on your right side while he works on your left. The two sides turn out unsymmetrical and botched. The incision line is lumpy, puckered and uneven. He has No pride in his workmanship and is a disgrace to the profession! I'm surprised he has not been booted out of his profession by his peers!

Rude staff. Rude doctor. LISTEN TO THE REST THE REVIEWS - find a different doctor…read more I constantly had issues with, Laura (the manager) and I should have just found another PC - but I just thought "yeah they're rude, but I can deal with that because I can make appointments relatively fast". A mistake that's now cost me health, money and a lot of time. They didn't submit the proper documentation to my insurance on time - even though I called and asked multiple times - each time I was met with a rude tone, as if "we're not stupid - don't ask us again". Well, my insurance confirmed that the office ignored multiple phone calls and faxes trying to get it covered. They lied and wouldn't even try to help resolve the issue - then calling the company that she works for - they couldn't care less. They "looked into" my issues and found no problems. They wouldn't talk to my insurance or care to look at the evidence - they said "we talked with Dr Gallo's staff and everything was done properly". No, it wasn't and that's why I'm not liable for THEIR referrals - because they wouldn't submit it within the timeframe needed and lied about it. We choose professionals to do things like that because it's a complex deal understanding the processes and policies involved. They don't act professional and it's as if they enjoyed my issues - both Dr Gallo and Laura. I'm going to sue them because it's cost me months of treatment, a financial loss and countless hours of my life - not to mention the stress it's put on me. Run away - don't walk - this office is only interested in your money.

First let me say, Im an asthmatic so imagin my suprise when this doc recently refused to refill my…read moreasthma meds...and her staff had the nerve to call me and tell me that my most recent request for asthma meds was, "inappropriate". They never even inquired if I was okay.... wow!!! (Patient for more than 5 years) The staff are horribly rude, Renee has been nice and personable at most visits, but she can be rude paticularly when you ask her to work with other practitioners, except those that are her friends of course. She set up a referral with an equally as expensive doc, her friend, who was rude and incensitive! When I decided to go to another doc for a 2nd opinion, her office wouldn't share all of my medical information even though I'd signed the releases, but she shared all my info with her friend. The final straw was when I asked to pick up a copy of my full file and her admin told me nobody at the office could do this until Monday. Im like its just making copies and the staff becomes upset and says, "Ms. I'm working the front desk so I don't have time to do this and I don't deal with medical records..." I stayed with her for years because she really used to be great! She would spend time with patients, her staff were funny and warm. She, ironically now, helped stabilize my asthma and for that I am still grateful. But later when she opened her own practice and she and her staff became rude, inattentive and incensitive, I stayed because I really didn't have any health problems, she was close and i could get in quickly despite the snide comments about my health condition made in front of UA interns! But NO MORE! Im getting a new doctor who will provide asthma medications to asthmatics! She gets 2 stars because they get you in quickly and I know there's a good doctor inside her, though I have not seen the good one since she opened her own practice. Do yourself a favor, look at the google reviews and find another doctor.
