About Dr. Rao

I specialize in Brain and Spine Care. I became a healthcare provider because I knew I always wanted to be a pediatrician. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I provide compassion, guidance, and education on treatment plans that are easy to understand and individualized for the patient. My patients and their family leave understanding their diagnosis and treatment for the future.

My little something extra

I’m a Pelicans basketball fan.

Our provider was very thorough and just an overall really nice person to deal with. And she really thinks that we have finally nailed down what is wrong with my son after six years of going to doctors with no answers. So we are very thankful for Dr. Rao and the staff.

Hi, yes, she was very polite and helped with the education part a lot. Like she explained stuff very well to where we would understand it, both me and my son, and was able to help him get medication when he needs it during school hours so he doesn't have to miss and that's a really big thing. So I appreciate all of her help. Thank you.
