Good

Dr Rao is an excellent physician. I have recommended her to others.

Dr Rao is always very thorough and helpful and listens to your concerns.

As was true from the first time I visited 4 years ago, Dr. Rao listened carefully and demonstrated concern for all of my concerns and questions. She is the benchmark for the care I receive from all my doctors. She is careful and attentive.

I think it's funny when I have to call the on call provider and they're shocked at my chart, but it's just another Monday for Dr Rao and she knows what I'm going to ask her about without me even putting in the visit reason. It works so well. Not every PCP will work for every person, but Dr Rao is exactly the PCP I need. It's really nice after having bounced around PCPs for a while. I see a lot of specialists so she has to keep up with a lot but she never misses a beat and somehow can still recall things that happened in 2023, which is crazy to me given how many patients she has

Dr. Vindhya Rao is the best!

Easy to talk with and learn pros and cons of different options. Thorough and good listener which allowed her to discuss tweaking meds a bit to lower doses. Very happy with Dr Rao.

She's a model for what the future of primary care should look like!

Excellent

Dr. Rao is a good doctor and I like the fact that she seems very concerned about my health. If I don't see her again in the future it's only because of the fact that it took me over an hour to get home. So I would have to book an earlier appointment when there is one available.

Dr. Rao is incredible and she is now my PCP. I cannot think of any physician that I would have more confidence in than her.

I had an issue pop up while Dr Rao was out of town and she was super kind to fit me in when she got back. She explained my issue thoroughly and ordered further testing. She's always so kind to me and treats my concerns seriously. I also love that she steps in when my GYN is on leave. For this particular issue I was getting opinions from others that were conflicting and I really just needed her opinion. She cleared everything up and really reassured me.

Dr. Rao is exceptionally patient and listens to everything I want to communicate. I like her approach to giving advice rather than issuing directives (which some physicians like to do). I am very pleased with being able to partner with Dr. Rao in my health care.
