Dr. Asha R. Rao MD., DGO – Best Gynaecologist Coimbatore
Dr. S.R. Rao is one of the Pioneers in Laparoscopic Surgery in Tamil Nadu and the first Laparoscopy was done at Rao Hospital in the year 1977. He was trained at Brussels and Germany in Laparoscopy and has carried out thousands of Laparoscopic surgeries. His special interests are Video Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopic Surgery, Male Infertility and General Surgery.
Medical practice has come a long way and is today sometimes felt to be impersonal and machine oriented. We at Rao Hospital have striven to deliver both personalized care along with modern technology. Rather than giving ad hoc treatment we firmly believe in evidence based medicine.
We have today strengthened our core efficiencies i.e. ART, Gynaec Laparoscopic Surgeries, General Gynecology and Obstetrics along with Neonatology and Paediatrics. We feel it is preferable not to dilute our services to encompass areas outside our expertise.
Our CARE team has been together for more than a quarter of a Century and each knows others thought processes thus leading to smooth recovery of the patient.
