    For me, Dr. Rao is a true professional. She treats us well, she takes care of us, she listens to us. Most importantly, she takes her time with us; she's never in a rush. She asks our daughter lots of questions, she asks us questions too, and we feel comfortable with her. Whenever we go, what I appreciate most is the time she dedicates to us. Thank you.

    We have had several procedures done where our baby had to be sedated. This was by far the best experience we've ever had. I appreciated the child support person coming in and involving our girl in helping get her mask ready and picking out a smell for her mask. Putting the stickers on and doing those things put her at ease and in turn put me at ease is mama. Thank you, nurse [staff name] for sticking with my baby all the way through. Knowing she was not alone made it easier to handle.

    Dr. Rao is the best! She has treated our son's migraines for years. She is up to date on the latest treatments and talks to our son on his level. 10/10!
