I work for Inova Fairfax Hospital and When I decided that I was ready to start looking for a plastic surgeon for my procedure Dr. Rao was referred to me by 03 Doctors from the same Hospital. I scheduled my first appt. and met Laramie Practice Coordinator and Dr. Rao and I was impressed for all their knowledge and professionalism. Also the practice was very clean and all the staff very friendly. I left the practice with a plan in place. They never put pressure on me to make a decision instead I was the one who called Laramie who is great, very professional and very responsive with her emails to notify that I was ready for the next step. We set up an appt. for my Pre Op and that day I met with Alexis Lee - Pre Op Nurse, Doctor Rao and Laramie they explained the second part of the plan. Everything was very clear. They gave me all the instructions in writing, my prescriptions and the day of the surgery I was ready for my big change. When I arrived to the OR Mrs. Buffi Abdeen - Recovery Nurse welcomed us gave specific instructions to my husband and she walked me inside where she helped me get changed and explained each step. She is just great and made me feel wonderful I was not having that feeling of anxiety instead We were taking a lot until she introduce Dr. Jeremy the anesthesiologist and who gave me the confort that I needed. I asked him all the questions and he answered each one of them. He made me understand that I was going to be observed and monitored during the entire procedure with the best equipment and it was very important because there was no fear at all. After that I met with Dr. Rao, he talked to me again about the plan in place and then I was transferred to my bed. Jeremy made everything very smooth and easy to me, he is just great. After I woke up from the anesthesia Boffi was there by my side so Thanks again for been there with me all the time. It really means a lot to me. Also was part of my Surgical Team Tyler Chavez Dr Rao's assistant, Diana Altman - OR Nurse Supervisor and Patsy Hallagan OR Nurse. They were great and the following day I received 4 follow up call from them to see how I was doing. I just want to share with all that my Surgery went above my expectations. I am very happy with my results and the entire process and procedure. Thank you so much to everyone and if you are looking for quality service and experience Dr. Rao and his Team should be the first place to visit. read more
