Ravi Rao

Excellent, thorough, and professsional staff

Had an appointment with Dr Rao today, the wait was not long & I must say everyone working there that I interacted with could not have been more pleasant & friendly! Highly recommend!

This place is horrible The day I was there i had taken my mother They seem to have a very incompetent office staff as well as nursing staff The office staff seems to have an excuse for everything after talking to others that have been to this doctor's office I'm Seems they forget to contact the insurance companies more often than not I'll be writing the state to let them know about the incompetents I should have known something was up when one of his nurses had either been fired or quit and 2 or 3 other nurses were trying to get her to come back or console her Either way from what I saw my loved one will be finding a different cardiologist If he can't take care of what his employees doing he can't be that great of doctor

Don’t even bother. Dr shows up on my network list. Office says they will verify insurance. Never heard back. Called and talked to their billing person and they said they do take it. Scheduler still said they don’t. If you don’t, then call insurance companies to take yourself off the provider list. Obvious disconnect. Not sure how they run their office when two departments aren’t on the same page. Find yourself a better cardiology office. Waste of time.

They are VERY difficult to get an appt with. They do NOT return calls. Very unprofessional with the patients. You cannot make an appt without providing proof of insurance FIRST. Otherwise, no appt.

Very knowledge Doctor and takes his time with his patients to hear their concerns.

Excellent, thorough, and professsional

Awful place. Staff extremely rude. I had to find another cardiologist about a year ago due to this office no longer taking my insurance. Requested my records and they stated I needed to be seen at a self pay rat of $150-$200 to get my own medical records!!! That is not right and i left several messages with office manager and she has not called back! Do not go here!! Awful place. Staff extremely rude.

Exceptionally highly skilled cardiologist. Saved my misbehaving heart from atrial fibrillation twice, in 2019 and then very recently. I was a bit disappointed that neither before, nor after the procedure, neither Dr. Rao, nor any of the nurses spoke with me, or with my wife about the results, about findings of the TEE (Transesophageal echocardiogram), about any follow-up or anything of the essence.

Absolutely horrible experience. Scheduling was a nightmare to start, and no fewer than twice, staff called to move or cancel my appointment an hour before I was supposed the arrive. It took over 3 months to run basic tests, and I never actually saw Dr Rao. Staff was also incredibly insensitive and rude. When people are going through scary healthy issues for the first time, don’t dismiss their questions. 0/10 would rather have all my teeth pulled than go back here. Absolutely horrible experience.

perfect

Most unprofessional staff I’ve ever dealt with. Every time I call, no matter the option I select goes straight to voicemail. The doctor may be good but staff uncaring and very unprofessional

A most professional staff. Dr Rao gave me the use of both legs back without a burning pain after walking a few yards. It has had a most positive effect on my physical and mental wellbeing as I can now walk a mile without extreme pain...all pain is gone. Thanks again to the staff and Dr

Him & his team were very good with me. I've been to other cardiologist and it was a life saving event with Dr. Rao. They made me feel like I was in good hands. His procedure with heart stints was so much easier then prior stints I've had.

thorough

I see Dr, Bala and he always listens and is a great doctor.

He answered all my question, Also explained the procedure and results.

good

Z

Gave me all the inforamtion i needed

complete pleasure

Awesome experience all the way around. Dr Rao makes you feel comfortable and confident and is always patient and does not rush when with you. He has a very calming presence and is extremely personable.

Professional and productive. Dr. Rao is pursuing other avenues to further rule out any other possible areas of concern.

Very good, excellent, as usual

Dr Rao is thoughtful and listens to the patient. He does his best to diagnose the problem.

professional. Dr was thorough and good communicator, Nurses were excellent.

Great experience

Very friendly and helpful.

Dr Rao been my Dr for 10 years

Good experience

Dr Roa and his staff have always given me full information about testing, care. They take the time to explain the "why" for things and to explain why certain treatments were being done.

Dr Rao and his staff are always very caring and knowledgeable. I trust him to what it takes to help his patients, with the least invasive procedures.

Convenient and very pleasant. Very Happy with Dr. Rao.

Dr Oskouei and Shi Lynne ARNP are outstanding. Nurse Darya was outstanding as well. My experience from beginning to end was perfect. From check in to check out it was a wonderful experience. I recommend this office to everyone.

A-OK

People here found my need for bypass and and saved my life.Referred my wife out in time to receive the care she needed. We are very pleased. This office is on top of everything in the field of cardiology.

Without Dr Rao, I wouldn't be here.

I have been a patient with Heart Care Centers since 2009. I am pleased with the excellent care. I like the staff too, LInda, Julia, Loren, Martha are great.

Listens well, takes time, follow up great too. Nurses are great as well. Im comfortable every time I visit.

Good

Always the best, no problems. Attentive and shows genuine concern for my health

This office showed great patience in getting my appointment together. Ashley, at Front desk is wonderful. I couldn't be more pleased. Diane

Every visit, everyone is kind and takes good care of me. I would recommend Dr. Ravi Rao to anyone who needs a cardiologist

Always positive and willing to find solution

Happy

I had a great experience with Dr Rao. Very gentle, knowledgeable, and can perform all necessary procedures to measure your heart condition.

Life saviour

I had a heart cath procedure just a few days ago and I credit Dr. Rao with saving my life. I had been having chest and throat tightness so I had a nuclear stress test and an echo and neither of the tests showed anything major. Since I was still having symptoms Dr. Rao wanted to do a heart cath. During the procedure, he found that I had a 95% blockage in my LAD. Dr. Rao cleared it and put in a stent. If he had not insisted on doing the heart cath after the other tests didn't really show anything then it is possible that I could have had the widowmaker and not be around to write this. I appreciate him very much.

My experience during a Stent was fine, BUT ,really hard to see Dr Rao again. His office will schedule you with a Nurse Practitioner but to actually get an appointment with Dr Rao is hard because he is not here most of the time. Either in procedures (where the real money is) or traveling.

Was great at the hospital, but now I’m out of medication to actually stay alive and no one will respond after 3 weeks! I guess I have to have another blockage before anyone responds.

Great doctor

Harvard trained, knows his stuff, takes care of me and my Mom +++

To dependant on Nurse Practitioners who are not Doctors or Cardiologist. 2 appointments, At 1st visit seen NP who I requested not be allowed in my room seen Dr for maybe 5 minutes, 2nd visit Doctor was not at Office so NP came in room. She had not looked at my chart knew nothing about me or the purpose of my visit. I declined to coninue the visit & complained to the person in charge that I couldn't continue with the visit I needed to see the doctor. there was another patient standing at the counter also upset that she didn't get to see the doctor & was getting all her charts. Very bad experience.

I consider myself very fortunate to have Dr. Rao as my cardiologist. I credit him for saving my life in 2017. He is very compassionate, and takes time to explain your condition and on how to improve your health. His assistant, Wendy Doyle is such an amazing person and the staff are very professional and go out of their way to make sure your visit is pleasant. I would highly recommend Dr. Rao.

Just got done with Dr. Rap very kind. He also has state of the art technology. Office staff was super nice. Titusville is lucky to have him.

He is a wonderful doctor! He was very kind to my Uncle! He would ask questions and listen to my Uncle. His office staff were kind and easy to talk to! His office is easy to find. Right off of Washington Ave( US 1) across from McDonalds! If you need a heart doctor he is an excellent choice!

Patient for a number of years at Dr. Rao's New Smyrna Beach office. Miss having his brother as part of the practice- both were very good. Nice staff, explanations are good and exams thorough. Recommended to my Mother who is now a patient also.

He is a very good doctor who takes his time to help solve the problem. I love his office staff each one courteous, professional and very accommodating. It's difficult to find a doctor and an office that cares about their patients, in today's world. I highly recommend Dr. Rao who has some of the best updated technology available right in his office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rao for over 5 years, which includes two heart cath procedures. I find him to be very thorough, taking his time with patients to address all concerns. I have recommended him to friends and the feedback I get has always been quite positive. Incidentally, I live in New Smyrna Beach and he has an office here as well.
