Had to wait months after being referred from Emergency, for the few minute he spent he was helpful, but the remedy he prescribed was only temporary and I ended up back in the ER.

I have been having skin problems for 5 years. I was recommended by my doctor to go and see him. He was able to identify my problem immediately and he was very helpful.

Dr. Rao is a great doctor. Funny, smart and kind. I went to him with my own cosmetic issues, and also my kids' many skin problems, and they were effectively addressed. I am also a doctor, and my physician group always refers to him. Truly a gem of a dermatologist!

Wonderful doctor. Reading through the comments before I actually went for an appointment bothered me as some feed backs here are very mean. In Edmonton, it's not that easy to get to see a specialist, a good one especially, that is why I kept my appointment. I saw Dr Rao a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by his knowledge, experience, and how easy the solution for my skin problem is. Recommend to everyone! I am glad that I didn't listen to some nasty rating comments!

I was really disappointed by my experience. He was at a business lunch and showed up late. He did my Botox and filler and I was very unimpressed. I went to another dermatologist who was better trained to have this botch job fixed.

Dr. Rao is very knowledgeable, professional,, pleasant and funny. Seeing for for a rather painful procedure was a real pleasure. The results of my laser treatments are absolutely great. I can recommend Dr. Rao to anyone. In my mind, he is the best in his field.
