Dr. Babu V Rao, MD

Very unprofessional! During the consultation he kelp interrupting me asking me why are you here numerous of times. I told him my Dr. office sent me that’s why I am here. cell phone rung and he took the call ( how rude )! I paid $65 just to be rudely interrupted and disrespected. When I left I told him sorry we bother you. I would never recommend anyone to see him.

He's been my doctor for about 8 years and has helped me a lot with my stomach issues. He stood out compared to some of the other doctors I see

I will always remember Dr. Babu. I am so glad that he came in to my life in 2000. He helped when noone else could. I am glad that he has taken care of me all these years. We always had a good Patient /Doctor relationship. I want to just say that he is a good dr. I hate to see him go. I will miss him alot. I wish him the very best in life. Thank you Dr. Babu. Don't forget me..If you find a cure for crohn's will you let me know. I pray that they find a cure or that GOD would heal me. Thanks Dr. Babu.

I love Dr. Rao. In fact he helped and gave me relief when other docs couldn't even figure out what was wrong. I have had nothing but great experiences and has always worked me in. He truly saved me from awful pain and I am gonna miss now that he no longer practices in TN. Also nurse Rita is awesome!

I have been seeing Dr. Rao for a long time now and I have always had great experiences. The nurses are caring and nice and he has good beside manners and is very polite and considerate. I always get the help I need when I see him.

I haven't seen Dr. Rao in approximately 10 years, however i recieved a call on my voice mail a few days ago telling me to call the office because i had an appt. to see one of the other doctors in the office and they had to cancel my apt. when i called to see what it was about i was told that i couldn't see this other doctor because Dr. Rao had dimsissed me as a patient. The strange part of all of this is the fact that i had not called his office for any reason. I had not scheduled an appointment with anyone in the office. i asked who scheduled the appointment and they told me i was self referred and that i made the appointment. The most herendous part of all of this is that Dr. Rao has never dismissed me. I remember seeing him approximately 10 years ago, and the reason i didn't go back was because of the fact that he came in to see me and my husband was with me as usual he is with me during all my doctors apt. Dr. Rao left me in his treatment room while he had a meeting with a drug rep. I stayed in his treatment room until i got tired of waiting and i let myself out. when i asked the office manager what was the reason that was charted for him dismissing me the reason she said was charted by the nurse is too outrageous for me to even state here. It was an out and out lie. I asked if the documentationwas signed off on by the doctor, and she said yes. I asked her if Dr. Rao signed it or if it was signed with an office stamper that some nurses use to sign for a doctor. She wouldn't answer that. It appauls me that i would get a call about an appointment i didn't make and knew nothing about, A doctor that would leave a patinet in a treatmetn room to take an interview with a drug rep,. and then allegedly document a medical record with False information about a patient saying something that the patient never said. I feel a doctor is responsibe for the actions of thier nurse. what i ma saying is it is awful when a docotr go along with false information documented in a patients chart. If he wasn't a party to it he should have first verified the velidity of the documentation before he allowed it to stand. Until yesterday i din't even know any of this documentation even existed or i would have dealt with it long ago. I can't respect any doctor that will allow such. I was also told that this information was shared with my at that time primary care physician. I can't see myself ever seeing him again after the way i was treated by him and since he fill in for his fellow physicians I couldn't see myself making an apt. to see any of his fellow physicians and i don't appreciate the lies that were placed in my medical records.

I am in utter disbelief after reading some of the reviews on here. My experience was so devastating, that I am shocked no one else has had the same problem. But I'm sure some of these reviews are fabricated. I've had terrible gastrointestinal issues over the years and have seen multiple doctors seeking help for the discomfort. I was referred to Dr. Rao by my PCP and upon his entrance in the room, was very rude with me. Would not listen to my symptoms and when I finally told him that I had found some relief in a new diet, he was so arrogant in telling me that my new diet "was placebo". Basically all in my head. And that I had tested negative for Celiac in a blood panel, so I DO NOT have Celiac, not even a possibility! So what did I do...took his arrogant word for it, ate gluten, and now have suffered severely for it. Back in the same debilitating state I was in before. Don't see this doctor. He should be sued for malpractice. Not taking a patients concerns and symptoms to heart and then putting them in an ill state again. Pathetic.

Dr. Rao is a good listener and has a caring bedside manner. The nurse that took my vitals seemed uninterested and bothered.

very capable and caring - spends time and talks to me and not AT me
