“Dr. Rao did a skin removal surgery on my wife after substantially losing weight. He was caring and thorough. I had joked that I was next. A year later after losing 180lbs, Dr Rao did mine. The procedure went amazing. Later that evening due to neglect on the hospital staff, I lost an extreme amount of blood. Late at night Dr Rao came to the hospital like a marvel super hero. Fixed me up and even shared a few laughs. I since have had nothing but respect for this man! He’s a great Doctor who genuinely cares for his patients.”
“I had lost 80lbs in 10 years and was left with hanging skin. After interviewing a few Plastic surgeons, I chose Dr. Rao. He made me feel like the most important patient! He listened to my needs, explained what he could do and set my expectations. His attention to detail, (including reducing my huge mons pubis, which i had mentioned in passing) was beyond compare. His skill is unsurpassed. The results are exactly what I wanted! Perfect surgeon's skills, 5.5 lbs of skin removed, a tiny scarline, and a truly caring Doctor Rao made my body perfect. Go and experience the best!”
“I cannot recommend Dr. Rao highly enough. Having undergone both major and minor procedures with him, I have absolute confidence in his abilities; his extensive expertise is evident in all his work. What truly sets Dr. Rao apart is his warm, gentle demeanor; he speaks with such kindness and explains every procedure clearly. The entire patient experience is seamless. From the front desk and medical assistants to the office manager, the staff is incredibly warm, professional, and efficient. They consistently welcome me and my family with genuine kindness, making us feel like valued individuals rather than just another appointment on the calendar. The office itself is clean and beautifully decorated, with a scheduling process that is both quick and organized. I especially appreciate that they proactively schedule follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and long-term success. Dr. Rao is a truly gifted physician and an artist at his craft, and his team is equally exceptional.”
“I didnt get to have surgery but I wanted to. Dr rao has great reviews and another one of my doctors praised him, his price for breast augmentation was one of the best in town. Office people friendly. But rescheduling and confirming it after the doctor needed to cancel for an emergency has been an absolute nightmare leading to me *hopefully* getting refunded my money and having to find a new doctor. Im genuinely disappointed in the way this has all been handled but according to my research hes a great doctor with great results and im sure id have been very happy had the office manager just communicated with me and i got to have my surgery here.”
“2 stars because the consultation with Dr. Rao went well and he was kind and informative. I was excited to have my procedure scheduled and done with him. However, everything after was unprofessional to say the least. Patricia reached out (via a private cell phone number) to schedule my procedure and I was told I would get a call back. A week passed and nothing. I called her back and she told me again that she would reach back out to within the hour to collect my deposit, and still no call back. This was mid to late April. My procedure was supposed to be June 12 and I simply never heard back. Very disappointing. I reached out to another surgeon who had the surgery scheduled in 1-2 days. I hope Dr. Rao is made aware of how unprofessional his staff make his practice look.”
