Doctor Rodriguez is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. He is extremely attentive and he really cares about helping his patients. He went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He listens carefully and explains everything so I could understand exactly what was going to happen. 5 stars ! Hector is the man! Now that I am able to breathe properly, I feel like a new human. He is a GOD SEND. I have not been able to breathe properly in over a decade. Dr Rodriguez changed my life for the better and I will never forget how awesome he is and how much he helped me... God bless Dr Rodriguez

I saw Dr.Rodriguez twice before my tonsillectomy. The first time was a consultation, the second time was for laryngitis. During both visits Dr.Rodriguez was extremely caring, compassionate and attentive to my health. I have never met a doctor who has provided care like Dr.Rodriguez. I had my tonsillectomy 12/19. Pre op he was attentive, explained in detail to my mother everything that would happen from that moment on until I visit him for my follow up. And, Post op he checked on me. He is for sure one of the best doctors I have ever seen, words can’t express how amazing of a person and doctor he truly is. It is very hard to find a physician now a days like Dr.Rodriguez.
