Verified patient
Dr. Rodriquez was very pleasant and thorough. I didn’t like the exam room where it was so cold and they let you sit for a long time with a little paper robe on to wait for Doctor. Otherwise the office staff was very kind and helpful

Dr. Rodriquez was very pleasant and soft spoken. She was Nick and knowledgeable about my concerns, intentional and clear about recommended considerations. I felt comfortable the entire time, and that I was well cared for. She made a follow up appointment.
Verified patient
Wonderful, compassionate doctor who took the time to listen and made me feel like a cared-about human rather than just a number to meet a quota or a list of symptoms. Highly recommend, would recommend to family and friends, and was very happy with my appointment. Best medical appointment I’ve ever experienced.
Verified patient
Dr. Rodriguez was the best doctor experience I have had in years! I waited less than 10 minutes to be brought into the exam room where my vitals, etc were taken right away. When Dr. Rodriguez came in moments later she stayed in the exam with me for nearly an hour!!!! I couldn’t believe it. As a new patient she wanted to get every detail of my (and my parents) medical history. She said, in not so many words, if I am going to be your new PCP I want to be sure we are fully on top of everything. I couldn’t believe the time and care she took with me- truly top notch. Answered any and all questions I had while also offering advice. She is amazingly easy to talk to. Just a very kind human being who clearly truly cares about her patients. I am so happy to have found her. I left (after getting all my bloodwork and labs done in the same exam room!) feeling very heard and like I am in great hands as I move into my mid-40’s!!! Highly highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez!!!
Verified patient
Yes, I would definitely go back if I needed care. Dr. Rodriguez' bedside manner was amazing. She was caring, thoughtful, and thorough. She did not rush me out of the exam room and explained her thinking and next steps.
Verified patient
Normally I feel like I have to fight to be heard by the doctor, because they spend 5 minutes with me trying to rush to their next patient. She wasn’t like that at all! She was patient, she listened, and treated me like we had all the time in the world to talk. She was wonderful! Great bed side manner, extremely friendly, and very sweet.
Verified patient
Dr Rodriguez did a great job of getting through the deny/delay gauntlet by my insurance company (blue cross) and got the prior authorization necessary for an imaging exam.
Yesterday I had my first visit with my new primary care doctor, Dr. Idelka Rodriguez. After moving to the area a year ago, I put off finding another doctor, but it was time, and I definitely feel like I made the right choice. Dr. Rodriguez spent a full hour going over my entire history and providing a thorough exam. She was kind, patient, and attentive. Staff was friendly and I didn't have to wait. This is the kind of medical experience everyone should have.
Verified patient
The doctor spent time collecting history and finding out the issues and was genuinely interested to help out. Made my Mom and me feel very comfortable. And addressed every concern. Will highly recommend this provider to my friends.
Verified patient
Everyone at the office was friendly and helpful. The nurse and Doctor were patient answering all of my questions and went out of their way to help me feel at ease (as doctor's offices frequently cause me anxiety). I cannot recommend Dr Rodriguez enough.
Verified patient
The doctor was really good, she took the time to listen, which is probably why we waited for her, my guess is that she is like that for every patient but its totally worth it. I have found a primary that I love.
Verified patient
Dr Rodriguez asked all the right questions, made my son feel comfortable. She was very thorough with her exam and her assessment. 5 stars!
Verified patient
The Dr and the staff were wonderful
Verified patient
I very rarely visit doctors, and I was nervous about my appointment. There was a doctor in training as well, so they worked together. They listened well, addressed all my concerns, and made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of information to provide, and it was one of the first times I did not feel rushed out the door. I appreciate that they took time to listen and treat me like a person.
Verified patient
Great staff!!!
