Reviews
Dr. Rao has been my doctor for years. Honestly he is a great doctor. He really cares about his patients. He wants to always resolve your problems and will do all he can to help you get better. He is a very genuine person. I feel like that is very important as well. He is always available if you have questions. He is very patient person and you never feel rushed. He listen to all your concerns. He is the best doctor I have had. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Rao and his staff are very thorough and provide good care and follow up on any issues in a timely manner. The practice is very busy and in high demand. So be prepared to wait at times to see any of the Doctors that practice at Gastroenterology Associates. I have had 2 colonoscopies and a endoscopy performed by Dr Rao and was satisfied with the procedures and his staff.
Dr. Roa is extremely professional. Very through, and compassionate. Haven't had my procedure jet, but he has made me very comfortable and definitely positive about his abilities.
Dr. Rao is a great doctor who cares for his patients. He sees your medical needs as a person not as a source of income. He provides the best advice for your medical needs with a caring ❤️!
Friendly courteous staff always willing to help and go above and beyond
