This is the best family practice clinic in town!!! I am a business owner using healthsharing. I am a diabetic and regularly take Glipize ER 10mg and Metformin 1000mg. Recently I found out from my walgreens pharmacy that Glipize ER costs way more now that I have moved from insurance plan to a healthsharing plan. When I told Dr. Rao during my visit about it, she right away changed my Glipizide to a non-extended release version which only costs $20 for 90days supply! All I have to do now is take it twice daily. How cool is that!!! She saved me almost $700/yr by doing it for me. I have been a bit lazy to write a review but after she did that for me, this review was the least I could do. Joining Meridian Springs has been such a life saver for me. They helped me with bundling healthsharing for my whole family for $285 /mo and provide such excellent rates for labs. This is how primary care should work. If you have not done so, go read about meridian springs primary care on the web - springsmd.com. That will be the most valuable you can do.

Dr. Bhavana Rao is like having your own personal care physician. she is not rushed and is available most of the time for the same day appointment or consultation on the phone call. she takes time to know your health history and explains everything in detailed to make you understand what is causing certain things. and the best part is, you get all of this for one standard monthly fee which in some cases your one time officer visit to any other doctors office. my parents came from india and they are elderly and I was worried about their health. my friend suggested to check with Dr. Bhavana and it is the best thing ever. we must have visited her at least once as week for the duration my parents were here. she is very patient to listen to everything. I couldn't be any more happy and was at peace while my parents visit knowing that the doctor is only a phone call away. may god bless Dr. Bhavana and her facility with a lot if success. Good Luck!

Dr. Rao is incredibly intelligent and has a great bed side manner. She saw my son for strept throat on a Sunday after calling her that morning. Got antibiotics and pain meds the same day. Can't get health service like that even in an emergency room.

Dr. Rao is very knowledgeable, very friendly and easy to talk to. She tackles all of my medical needs and concerns efficiently and promptly. Her office is very neat and clean and it’s a nice quiet atmosphere to walk into; with snacks and drinks available if you have a second to grab one before she calls you back to her office! :) There’s never been a wait when I see her for my routine visits and the scheduling process is easy and fast and I’m always seen within a day of when I schedule my appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Rao, she’s a good person and doctor.

Meridian Springs Primary Care is such a convenient and affordable service for me and my family. I wish it were around in 2015 when my husband and I got married. We ended up looking for an urgent care at 2 o’clock in the morning when my new husband finally succumbed to the cold that was threatening our wedding day. It would have been great to just call up my doctor during the night and get a prescription sent to the local 24hr drug store. Then the bill that came later made us feel we were paying for another wedding. But it’s here now, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for the feeling of freedom and security to talk to the doctor I want and at the time I want!!
