Continuously striving to provide the most comprehensive neurologic care, Dr. Rao is a practicing neurologist at Lawrenceville Neurology Center, P.A. He sees patients at the offices in Monroe, Princeton, and Lawrencville, New Jersey.
Lawrenceville Neurology Center, P.A., is a practice founded in 1981 on the principles of innovative neurological care combined with skill and experience. The physicians working there combine extensive experience, compassion, and the latest technology in addressing neurological concerns.
In practice for over three decades, Dr. Rao serves as Chief of Neurology at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers recently recognized him as a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist.
A leader in neurological diseases, he is board-certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy, and neuromuscular medicine by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry (ABPN). The ABPN is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to serving the professions of psychiatry and neurology.
Moreover, he is board-certified in electrodiagnostic medicine by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine (ABEM). The ABEM promotes high quality patient care by overseeing a certification process that requires physicians to obtain specific academic training and clinical experience, then demonstrate competency in the EDX evaluation of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems by passing a comprehensive examination.
Academically, Dr. Rao received his medical degree from the University of Bombay, India and followed that with training in internal medicine and a subsequent medical degree (neurology) at the same academic institution. He also earned membership with the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom (MRCP (UK)) and trained in clinical neurophysiology. He became a Consultant in Clinical Neurophysiology at the Royal Preston Hospital in England, developing extensive experience in epilepsy and epilepsy monitoring.
After his relocation to the United States, Dr. Rao completed a residency in neurology at St. Louis University and a fellowship in neuromuscular diseases at Wayne State University. He served as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center before joining Lawrenceville Neurology Center, P.A.
Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists are licensed medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles of patients. They examine a patient’s mental and physical status, conduct medical tests and scans, and evaluate the results to diagnose and treat the patient.
On a more personal note, Dr. Rao speaks a number of languages, including English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Urdu, and Edu.
