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.

Dr Rao…a gold star provider!
Dr Rao is a kind provider who is thorough and knowledgeable. She discusses my medical intervention completely with me, leaving time for questions or explanation. Being accessible, I can depend on her availability. I am well pleased with my care.

Outstanding Physician
Dr. Rao has been such a Godsend from the time I have been diagnosed to the current moment. I am to be in ongoing active treatment for the next four years as one has already surpassed under her as my Medical Oncologist. She is one of the most caring, loving and compassionate physicians I have been lucky to have on my team overseeing my day to day care. She is always prompt on answering any questions I have and when I leave a message for the nurse, Dr. Rao immediately communicates that she wants to see me to check on me to ensure I am doing okay. I am very lucky to have such a caring medical team, especially with such as delicate diagnosis as breast cancer.

Having had Stage I lung cancer, I was moving my care to McKinney now that I no longer live in Euless and it's a 90 mile round trip to visit my Oncologist at Texas Oncology in Bedford. Dr Rao is very friendly and seems to be very competent. My nephrologist is familiar with her as they worked together during their residency and she thinks highly of her skills. I was told by a friend who retired from the American Cancer Society that the best oncologists in Texas were all with Texas Oncology so I've remained with them for the past 3 yrs for that reason.

Dr. Rao are now done. I would recommend her to anyone. She has made me feel secure and safe during my cancer treatment. I had great trust in her guidance and she helped me get to the end of oncology. If I should ever need help again I will be calling on Dr. Rao. Will miss her giggle laugh and smile. Thank you for everything Dr. Rao.
