I have struggled with Drs 14 years. Set back in time by a motorcycle accident. No one would consider what I was going through.

I have now been with Dr. Rao for 12 years. He is the most caring Doctor I have ever been to! Dr. Rao makes you feel very comfortable at all times. I would not want to go to any other Doctor.
- Theresa Robinson
I LOVE this place. Dr B and Dr Rao saved my life. In 2014, I could only walk about 15ft and had to use a wheelchair. It happened so quickly to me. I had extreme pain in my back, and legs. My other pain mgmt wouldn't help at all.
- Kathleen Tibbs
