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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rao?
He did spinal fusion L4-L5 and a laminectomy at L4. That was 2 years ago, and I'm in more pain than I was before he did the surgery. After ordering an MRI and a Myelogram, he says there is no reason why I should be in pain. There is ALWAYS a reason why someone is in constant pain. He just dismissed the issue.

He did not do a complete job on my spine. A laminations without fusions are worthless. Very rushed.
