Dr. Rao was fantastic! She was straight forward and very knowledgeable about everything going on with my neck issue. Took time to explain in great detail everything happening with me and what we can do to address the situation.
I’m in extreme pain and she is doing everything in her power to fix it. Can’t recommend her enough!
