25 years ago Dr. Rao was the attending Pediatrician when my daughter arrived and she informed me that my daughter has infant hip dysplasia so a full body brace was set into place for her. Her first well baby appointment @ 2-3 weeks old was set up with Dr. Alan A. Alexander who looked at the xrays and said, "It must be a miracle....I see no problem with her hips so we're discarding the brace as it's unnecessary. My daughter is now in the hospital in severe pain awaiting hip replacement surgery at the age of 25.
