    Dr. Rao was VERY thorough in reviewing my medical history, asking relevant questions concerning my condition. She clearly explained the possible treatments and how or if my current medications would interact with any of them, risks involved and agreed to confer with my UK cardiologist as to the best treatment plan to pursue. Ordered extensive lab work and a spinal scan to aid in decision making. The spinal scan and follow-up were easily scheduled

      Dr. Rao and her staff are excellent. They provide me with clear explanations of what is going on, what needs to be done, and next steps. Feel comfortable asking questions, as this concerns my bones and an organ transplant...serious stuff.

      I was informed Dr.Roa was running behind. When she came to my room, never once did I feel rushed. When it is suggested to you that you need to take a medication with potential dangerous side effects you need to be able to trust your health care providers knowledge and experience. I am at complete peace under Dr. Roa's care.
