One of the best physicians I've had to pleasure of caring for me. Unfortunately he moved but wish he was still here.
Verified patient
The office staff is not super friendly or courteous but they also seem overwhelmed so I guess that explains? Other than that, Dr Rodriguez is the absolute best.

Verified patient
nice guy in the office. zero wait time for the 3 times i've seen him. after you leave the office is another story. not very good at getting back to you via email/phone. also, after my checkup he said "i'll call you if theres anything wrong and will mail you the results". One week later, he calls me and says "everything looks good". Almost had a heart attack. and he didnt mail the results until i asked him. i will be booking another doctor in the future.
