I had undergone CATRAQ surgery for my both eyes in Aug.2020 . I was treated by Dr. Rao utterly to my satisfaction. He was very kind and attentive to all my querries. He made me feel very comfortable while undergoing surgery and for follow up. He was very much competant as well as confident for all treatment. I feel I am lucky to have met him . I strongly recommend to avail his services for eye problem if any. My regards as well as best wishes for future.
