Dr Rho is amazing period! I don't have enough positive things to say about him. I have seen him and had polyp surgery and he did surgery on my son's adenoids. My son still talks about him today 7 yrs later. Dr Rho also always asks how my son is doing every visit also. It's just a pleasure to get seen here. I literally could write in the 7,600 spaces left on how astounding and caring this practice is. I speak to all my friends looking for an ENT Doctor and always recommend Dr Rho and his team.
