I took my 85 year old mother to Dr Rao for neck pain. She has been suffering severe neck and shoulder pain for years but had come to the end of her endurance. Dr Rao was so comforting and full of empathy. He was very professional and knew exactly what he could do for her with surgery. My mother is not a private patient but Dr Rao went to considerable lengths to obtain the best hospital fees to make this essential surgery possible. After the spinal surgery my mother is a completely new person. She is free from pain and has be... read more

Absolutely fabulous dealings. Professional, kind and helpful. How many other specialists reply to your emails on a late Sunday afternoon? Dr Rao is an asset to the medical field. I’m at the point where I will not allow anybody else to operate on me, Barr Dr Rao. Both Nina and Terri who are his clerical staff are also incredibly thorough and kind.

He prioritizes my surgery and I was in the operation theater with few hours. My Sergey went extremely well and did not had any post-surgery pain. I immediately started to walk fr... read more

I had severe back/nerve pain when I first saw Dr Rao. I felt very comfortable and at ease with him. A very caring Man who explained that surgery was my only option. He sourced me the best prices for my operation from Hospital to parts needed for my Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion. I am only 3 weeks post surgery but already free of nerve pain and able to stand straight again. He is a wonderful Man and the best Neurosurgeon I have found. I would highly recommend him for any spinal surgery needed. Thanks again Dr Rao for givi... read more

If you have a problem with your spine, Dr Rao is the doctor to go to. He makes you feel at ease and his explanations were easy to understand.We knew my husband was in the best of care. He performed a laminotomy,microdiscetomy and central canal decompression.We were very confident in his ability as a surgeon. He took the time to ring after the surgery was completed to assure me that everything had gone well. WE would highly recommend him for any spinal surgery and wish him every success.

After being cleaned up by a truck, suffering spinal injuries, I have been in the best of care with Dr Rao during the surgery, recovery and the follow-ups. Competent, professional and very personable. I recommend Dr Rao very highly.
