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 figured out what no one else could, why I couldn't run more than 100' without getting completely out of breath. After diagnosing my dysynchrony, and recommending a 3rd lead for my pacemaker, Clark Kent has left the building and Superman has taken his place. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart (literally) for giving me a new lease on life!

Listened and reacted attentively
Listened to all my non heart related problems from the last few months. Made suggestions that have helped even though it was just a normal check in with him.

He is so caring - gives you all the time you need - the appointments are not rushed but full of conversation about your problems. I'm sure he is as wonderful a person as he is a doctor. I wouldn't go to anyone else!! Everything there - the staff, facilities, time of waiting, etc. is perfect. I have no complaints - only great things to say about everything.
