Absolutely love Dr Rao. Very compassionate and listens… need to have several of her. Let her train some of the other staffs people…

Yesterday was an adventure! A fluke accident happened where the building lost complete power and the whole street for that matter. This happened while I was just getting my injection in my neck started. Room went pitch black. Dr. Rao and her nurses were cool, calm and collected and just talked to me while they hoped the power would kick back on. It never did. So, the call was made to pack up her whole staff and move to the Chesterton location to finish my procedure. Let me just say this…top notch Doctor and staff!!! We all laughed and joked about the start to their day. But, they were so apologetic and yet 100% accommodating and personable. You don’t find people like this every day! I would give them 100 stars if I could. Amazing humans and you can’t ask for anything more in the health care field. I’d trust them with anything!
