Our doctor was extremely thorough, very personable, went through every step of the process that we were about to embark on with great detail and answered any questions that we had, including a follow-up call to ensure that we had everything that we needed and we understood everything completely. We can't thank him enough. Thank you.

Yes, we had Dr. Rachaiah take care of (Patient) this time. Actually, he was our children's doctor several years ago when he was there before. We very much like having him as our children's doctor. So, very happy with him and I would like to continue that relationship. Very good. Thank you.

Dr. Rachaiah is always so kind and thorough with his approach to sick children. He consistently treats others with respect and actively listens to parents and patients. When my son's illness acutely changed, he was quick to discuss next steps and got him treatment promptly. I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise!
