Dr Rao and I had a FaceTime visit due to me being sick from chemo. That made it very accommodating for me. Dr Rao was the kindest, most caring person. He made me feel like I really mattered. I appreciated his professionalism and knowledge.

He was very professional in describing my condition, something that previos doctor never took the time to explain in a way that I understood. We found out that we had another connection, his father and my husband used to work together at Bell Laboratories back in the '80s.
