Patient Reviews
Jul 29, 2023
Dr. Rao figured out what no one else could, why I couldn't run more than 100' without getting completely out of breath. After diagnosing my dysynchrony, and recommending a 3rd lead for my pacemaker, Clark Kent has left the building and Superman has taken his place. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart (literally) for giving me a new lease on life!
