“Excellent care and service with doctor and staff. Very caring and professional.”
“I am a long-term pain management patient due to pain associated with osteoarthritis and mixed connective tissue disease and switched my care to Anita Rao, M.D. after my previous pain management physician at another practice asked me the same questions each time he saw me, which was monthly.
I had recently undergone the bariatric surgery when I switched to the care of Dr. Rao. Since day one, Dr. Rao was so encouraging while I lost the weight. She was also very supportive during the process of having my knees replaced, and the subsequent need for cervical spine surgery. Every time I see Dr. Rao, she is upbeat, kind and compassionate, taking the time to listen to my issues and offering therapy and treatment recommendations, while allowing me to participate in the decisions regarding my healthcare actively. I find her to be knowledgeable, honest and forthcoming when discussing expectations after a particular surgery or treatment. I am happy I found her!”
“I had extremely painful sciatica and Dr. Rao performed the procedure where you receive injections in your back. Each time I went for the back injections the procedure was virtually pain-free! The injections took away all of my nerve pain. Dr. Rao is very skilled at what she does and I was thrilled to have had the procedures.”
“Dr. Rao is very kind, has great personal skills and keeps my pain level low.”
“I was extremely pleased with the visit experience with Dr. Rao and the staff. My questions were answered completely and I was made to feel completely at ease during the procedure I experienced.”
“She is informative, professional, empathetic, helpful, kind and understanding. Answers all questions and provides great medical care.”
“Dr. Rao is the most compassionate Doctor I have ever seen. She is very professional informing me of research and best practice. She remembers our conversations and follows up each visit. ”
“Dr. Rao has been treating my family for several years now. The professionalism & caring nature of Dr. Rao is one of the best in the area. The placement for back injection is spot on, which means it lasts longer and alleviates pain better. My mother and I are currently getting back injections and the relief is great. Out of the several hospitals /clinics I've been too with myself and relatives Lakeshore is by far the most professional around. I have seen 6 different doctors at Lakeshore with myself and family and I've never had a complaint with any of them. The staff has always been helpful with any questions I've had. Thank you Lakeshore for hiring the great doctors and staff.”
“Dr. Rao was kind and made me feel she really cared about me. She listened to me and did not make me feel rushed. She told me my options for treatment but I appreciated her helping me decide. I would recommend her to my friends. Her staff was professional but friendly.”
“Both with Dr. Rao and Nurse Practitioner Susan, my visit with very well. All my questions were answered fully. Wait time was short. Had a question about my ribs on my left side that I fractured three ribs in Nov. and why I was still having pain in March. That was also answered fully. Yes, I would recommend Lakeshore Bone & Joint.”
“Very good Doctor. Patient friendly. Very professional, and projects a confidence a patient looks for in a medical professional. ”
