Dr. Christian Bo Rodriguez

My Experience at Mercy Hospital — Emergency Room Visit Re: Dr. Christian Bo. Rodriguez - TERRIBLE DOCTOR!!!! I am extremely disappointed with the care I received from Dr. Christian B. Rodriguez during my emergency room visit at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital on or around Friday August 21, 2026. I went to the emergency room because I was experiencing headaches, dizziness, and ringing in one ear. I explained my symptoms and the severity of what I was experiencing to the physician. I was told that a CT scan would not identify what was wrong with me and that the hospital did not have an MRI machine. I was also told that even if an MRI were available, there was not much they could do. The doctor offered to administer pain medication through an IV, which I declined because I wanted my symptoms evaluated, not simply medicated. I recall the physician telling me words to the effect of, “If you’re not going to take the drugs, there’s really not much we can do here,” and that he would send me… home and document the visit as though I had not been there. I did not feel that I received an adequate medical examination. I do not recall the physician checking my vital signs, examining my ears, checking my vision, listening to my lungs, or performing a physical examination. From my perspective, my concerns were dismissed without the evaluation I expected when seeking emergency care. What makes this experience even more upsetting is that I subsequently received a separate physician bill for $406.08, in addition to a substantial hospital bill. I am disputing the charges because I have serious concerns about the services documented and the level of care billed. Since that visit, I have undergone dental treatment for a significant tooth infection that required extraction and treatment of the infection. I cannot say for certain whether the infection caused my earlier symptoms, but this experience has made me even more concerned about whether my complaints were adequately evaluated in the emergency department. Patients deserve to be listened to, treated with respect, and appropriately evaluated when they seek emergency care. Declining a particular medication should not mean that a patient’s concerns are dismissed. I intend to submit a formal complaint to the Florida Department of Health and request a review of the physician’s documentation and billing. I am also pursuing a review of the hospital charges. Based on my personal experience, I was dissatisfied with the care I received and would not choose to see this physician again. I will make sure a further complaint goes to this terrible dr. This is fraud from him and the Mercy Hospital. Charging me for services that he did not even do for a somewhat professional Doctor. He rejected to evaluate me and he knows it.
