| 5.0 | Mar 1, 2025 | Dr. Rao did my heart ablation just two days ago, successfully. I am now free of afib and I already feel a lot better. Dr. Rao is a very caring, compassionate, and personable doctor, who also works very fast and efficiently. I would recommend him to anyone, as he is amazing. My wife and I are extremely grateful to him for going over all options carefully, and the time he spent with us. Also, mainly for helping save my life, as I was so exhausted before the ablation that I couldn't do much. Now I'm up walking around and wanting to do things once again. A big thanks to Dr. Rao and his team! You all are the best!! | |
