Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I appreciate that Dr. Rao always explains his reasoning and listens to me!

No follow up or return calls
Waited 2 months to see him with in house referral then waited 2 hours at appointment He seemed compassionate and smart. He Promised to research tests and procedures I needed for a serious diagnosis. It’s been 10 weeks and neither he nor associate have responded to several phone calls and communication via Temples portal. Shocked at the indifference of his behavior.

NO Return calls, NO Follow-up after bloodwork
The initial visit was great. It went downhill AFTER that. No follow up or return call after bloodwork. Called for the doctor-NO RETURN CALL. The week after I called for the physician's assistant--NO RETURN CALL. The week after (this past Monday) I requested a supervisor who was aware of everything and I was assured someone would call me, that was this past Monday--NO RETURN CALL. I called again Wednesday afternoon. I was told no one was available.

Terrible service. It tools 2 months to get an appointment and Dr. Rao will never call you back. Also good luck with the lady at the front desk that answers the phones, she is rude as hell. Find a different Doctor.
