Patient Reviews
Dec 10, 2020
In June of 2020 I was referred to Dr. Rao for a retina problem in each of my eyes which required two surgeries. From my first appointment with Dr. Rao I felt very comfortable with both him and any one of his staff. I was very nervous and Dr. Rao made every step of the way comfortable and painless. Both he and his staff explained to me in detail the procedure I would have, what I could expect with recovery and follow up. He took time to explain to me any questions I had. I have been recommending Dr. Rao and Retina Associates to everyone and he will be the first one I call if I have any further problems. Can't thank the whole team enough from the front desk to Dr. Rao and his staff. And a thank you to my ophthalmologist for referring me to Dr. Rao. He truly saved my eyesight.
