Sending my prayers and condolences to the Rao family. Although I never met Dr. Rao, I enjoyed the stories that were shared by his son, Nagesh.
Nagesh - you have my continued prayers. Thinking of you and your family immensely in the coming weeks and months.

To the Rao Family,
I am so sorry to learn that Dr Rao passed away. What a huge loss to you all. I have worked at Samaritan Hospital since 1974 and remember Dr Rao since he was just starting his practice. He had a very long, distinguished career as a surgeon in the Capital District and although it’s been a few years since he retired, I always enjoyed chatting with him when he stopped by Radiology from time-to-time to consult with the radiologist regarding one of his patients. He always came to the file room and say “where is my friend Mary!” Dr Gattu Rao was a very good and kind physician, colleague and gentleman. My sympathies go out to the Rao family, his friends, patients and colleagues. It has been a privilege knowing this wonderful doctor and I will miss him very much. Most sincerely,
Mary B White

I’ll never forget how caring Dr Rao was to my family and self during my fathers hospitalization while under his care. He was patient and kind. I enjoyed many years at St Mary’s Hospital caring for his surgical patients. When Dr Rao would round in the ICU and see I was working he’d say, “ Come on Cyrilla” to assist him even when the patient wasn’t under my assignment. St Mary’s nurses will always remember Dr Rao’s pocket of pens. He would hand out pens to us when he came by. We didn’t know where the endless supply came from but it was fun to find out what kind of pen we’d get each time. He was an intelligent, kind and caring person who impacted many lives.

I worked with Dr. Rao side by side caring for his patients and when I was an Administrtor. He cared very deeply for his patients and worked very hard. I'm not surprised that he postponed his retirement during the pandemic to care for his patients. May he rest in peace.

One of the kindest and most helpful physician I have worked with in 30 years. If I called him any time of day he would come in and help me without fail. He will be greatly missed
