Appointments
Clinic appointments are currently available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Please call as early as possible for the best selection of appointment times.

All patients are seen by scheduled appointment. We do make allowances for emergency referrals, but walk-ins are not encouraged. Please refrain from wearing cologne or perfume to your appointment as many patients with allergies seen in the office have sensitivities to these products.
New patients are scheduled to allow for additional examination time. Please arrange routine appointments as far in advance as possible. If you have questions regarding surgery or need to set a date for surgery, your call will be directed to our surgery scheduler. During the day, our surgery scheduler meets with patients who are in the office and who need to schedule surgery. Dr. Rao usually operates on Monday and Thursdays. He has admitting and operative privileges at Swedish Medical Center, Littleton Adventist Hospital, Porter Adventist Hospital, Surg Center at Dry Creek, Centrum Surgical Center, and Sky Ridge Medical Center.
