I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care provided by the staff at this medical facility. I was referred to Dr. Patel by my primary physician, Dr. Mellissa Bello, who stated, “I trust him with my own heart.” which spoke volume. I approached the day of my procedure with a sense of nervousness and apprehension, having previously visited the facility for preoperative assessment. Upon reviewing my medical history and laboratory results, Dr. Patel made the prudent decision to abort the original procedure due to elevated numbers, subsequently referring me to a nephrologist for further evaluation of my kidney health before rescheduling my procedure.<br><br>Today, I returned for the scheduled intervention related to a blockage in my heart. Dr. Patel truly lives up to his esteemed reputation. I would gladly rate him with ten stars if given the opportunity. His intelligence and technical proficiency were evident throughout the process. While he speaks little, his focus on patient care is evident, prioritizing health above all else.<br><br>I would also like to commend the entire staff for their exemplary service. From the preoperative call the day prior to my arrival this morning, their customer service was outstanding. They ensured my comfort and provided assistance from the moment I entered until I was escorted to my vehicle, where they assisted me with my seatbelt. Holly, in particular, excelled in calming my nerves and fostering a sense of relaxation prior to the procedure.<br><br>I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with this team for anyone experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or lethargy. A nuclear stress test may provide valuable insight into potential blockages. In my case, a stent was successfully placed with minimal discomfort, and I am delighted to share that my blood pressure, monitored by my wife multiple times a day, was in the normal range for the first time in months. I would like to extend my special thanks to the entire staff, including Madison, Brooke, Kaitlin, Shaylnn, Pam, Angel, Toni, Kris, Sarah, and Derrick.<br><br>Lastly, I would like to mention to Derrick that the cologne I was wearing is Bvlgari Man Glacial Ice, because he inquired about it and for the life of me I could not remember the name of it due to my nervousness lol.

Dr Rao is awesome, involved communicates makes you feel like you and your condition are the most important thing at the time you are with her. I travel 3 and 1/2 hours each way to see her. THE BEST

Very caring, listens to patient. Explains things well. I was there today and I am already telling people about what a good doctor she is. Can't say enough good things about her.

I became a patient of Dr. Rao, after my husband, who had been a longtime patient, said he would recommend no other Cardiologist. I can't say enough about her genuine concern and compassion for her patients. I wish I could have her as my Primary Care Doctor, and so does my husband. I would trust her above any of my other doctors.

Have been Dr. Rao's patient since moving to FL in 2005. She monitored aortic valve insufficiency and recommended valve replacement in 2006, which went very well. She is not only a highly proficient technician, but a doctor with a great personality who will spend the time necessary during visits. I have great confidence in Dr. Rao and appreciate her concern for me as her patient.

Dr Rao is TERRIFIC! I went for a health screening and she took the time and asked all the right questions. She really listened and after an indepth review decided I needed more tests. I wasn't home more than 2 hours after the tests were performed at the hospital and she called to advise the results and reassure me that everything was fine.A truly caring doctor.

I have gone to Dr. Rao for years now. She is the absolute best! She is very professional, knowledgeable and especially friendly. She has taken good care of me over the years and knows what is best for my heart health. I never would want to go to another Dr other than Dr. Rao. Don't hesitate to make an appointment to see her!
