Jyoti Rao, MD, FACG, Gastroenterologist

“Qualities of caring and helping were instilled in me by my parents who always had open arms for those in need. Working for more than 15 years in gastroenterology, a challenging and diverse specialty, has given me the opportunity to put my parents’ teaching into practice.

“Overall, this journey into medical practice has been a rewarding and enriching experience for me. In my daily work, patients come first. Listening to them with honesty, compassion, respect and understanding is always important.”
