FEATURED REVIEW

OVERVIEW

Dr. Sudhir Rao is the Medical Director of Pain and Spine Specialists, a premiere pain management practice in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. As the medical director, Dr. Rao leads a team of highly specialized and skilled physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. 

Dr. Rao earned his Bachelor of Sciences in Bio-Psychology from the University of Michigan. He obtained his Medical Doctorate from St. George's University School of Medicine. Through his internship in Internal Medicine at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, he learned a great deal about the pathophysiology of the human body.  As a Fellow at Mt. Sinai College of Medicine Dr. Rao specialized in Interventional Pain Medicine. He went on to work as an assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine educating other fellows and residents. 

He feels honored that he was able to work at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas and support members of the armed forces and military veterans. Dr. Rao assisted in enhancing and elevating the pain clinic designated for active-duty soldiers with war-related chronic pain symptoms. He was the first to introduce the use of the spinal cord stimulator as an effective pain management technique. The spinal cord stimulation therapy was an immediate success at Ford Hood, and treated many chronic neuropathic pain patients. 

Dr. Rao started the Pain and Spine Specialists practice in 2012 and has expanded to over 20 locations throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Dr. Rao opened this practice to devote his medical talent towards superior patient care. Dr. Rao, his clinical staff and all members of the Pain and Spine Specialists  practice strive to always provide a patient-centered environment that supports each individual in their health journeys.

"Unknown if Dr. Rao is a good physician or not, but the office staff is horrible. Every phone call I make to the staff goes unanswered, or worse, you hear them pick up, and then hang up. Unacceptable!!!"

"I have been to the Rockville office 3 times. Each and every time I am greeted by name. The front desk staff has always met me with a smile. Raquel and Veronica make me feel as if I am the only patient that comes in. I have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen and each and every staff member has a smile is upbeat and treats me as if I am their sole patient. We come to you in probably the worst place any of us have been and are treated like we matter and are spoken to in east to understand terms. I cannot say enough about how much I actually enjoy my visits. Whatever you are doing, keep it up In my opinion this office is to pain management as Chic Fil A is to drive throughs. No know compares "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
