Verified Patient Reviews for Samir Rao, MD
I can't say enough about Dr. Rao and his staff. They made me feel comfortable, safe and well taken care of. They are amazing. I trust Dr. Rao with everything I have... I am so thankful he's my doctor.
Overall, my recovery was smooth with the temporary implant. I had issues was hives and fluid build-up/possible infection that took a while to resolve. I had called the office on the weekend to report the fluid build-up, but the on-call doctor never called me back, so I had to call the office on Monday.
I was having issues with my prior implants and now I don't have them. I feel better now.
Dr. Rao and staff took their time answering all my questions during every visit. They were knowledgeable, professional and I fel listened to and cared for pre and post surgery.

Professional, precise and flawless results, responsive to concerns
I was able to keep my breast, even though they are smaller, I'm happy they are mine.
From my initial consultations, procedures and follow up visits, all are exemplary! The Doctors, nurses and staff go above and beyond to answer questions, accommodate requests and give time required without ever making me feel rushed.
good communication, good bedside manner
Laramie, Leila, and Alexis were very professional, attentive, and caring. After mastectomy, my breast with the implant looks almost identical to before.
