Rude. Implied I was making up my pain, literally thru up her hands and walked out the door and said i can’t help you. Turns out my pain was from a broken bone in my pelvis. She could have helped me tremendously by just ordering an X ray!

I had the displeasure of seeing Dr. Rhoads for the first and last time for a consult for possible abdominal surgery. Not only did she spend less than 5 minutes with me, but she actually laughed when I suggested a possible other condition that was brought up by another one of my physicians. She had me get on the exam table then didn't even touch me. I am a medical professional myself and I can say I've never been treated with such disrespect and unprofessionalism. I will not be recommending this physician to anyone.

As a person who dislikes and distrusts medical people I found that Dr. Rhoads actually listened to me, came up with a treatment plan that did not include surgery or a hospital stay. She is willing to work with an extremely difficult patient (me). At this point, I recommend her without reservations

Dr. Rhoads did a wonderful job with my recent colectomy. It was done laparoscopically and I was up walking around the next day with minimal pain and was home in 4 days feeling good and with very little soreness. I highly recommend her. She is very caring, honest and answers all your questions.

The first time I saw Dr. Rhoads I was impressed with her kindness and compassion. She was also very thorough and explained my condition and what surgery would involve. She did an awesome job! I would highly recommend her. She was worth the wait. :)
