April Baker
Hello! I’m April Baker and I’m the Office Manager/Medical Assistant here at Scott County Family Practice. I’ve been with Dr. Padma Rao for 5 years. I look forward to coming into the office everyday, due to the wonderful patients, that are more like family. I’ve been married for 20 years, and have 3 teenage kids…18, 16, and one 15. They are all patients of this office, including me. We all love Dr. Rao. I also love spending time Dancing, laughing and singing with some of the patients that come here. I consider them my extended family. (Some call me The Singing Nurse, the other’s call me “The Vampire”) I gladly take on that title with honor, as long as they join in on the fun. I hope to see you soon!
