Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

As I stated, I don’t like needles at all, and yet this was pretty much pain free. Also everyone working with me have been absolutely terrific; calmed down any reservations I had, and made the process fast and again, just pain free..

I am a patient out of his Titusville office. I was hospitalized in New Smyrna Beach. Dr Rao came to Advent Health NSB where I was a patient & performed my cardiac cath. He is an amazing cardiologist & truly cares for his patients.
