Writing this review after 2-3 years of treatment taken from Sir for my parents. If you want to restore your lost faith in medicine and cardiologists around, Dr. Rao is the only one who can do that for you. Both my parents are diabetic and hypertensive, and have been his patients for a while now. They are also above 65/70 years and are doing good, thanks to his treatment. He handled my father’s angiogram with utmost honestly and perfection, and has never recommended unnecessary tests or procedures. He truly believes in causing the least discomfort to the patients and undoubtedly has the best hand at interventional cardiology in Hyderabad. Thank you Sir!
