Doctor was great. Took time with me. Gave me options. MA didn’t seem to know what she was doing, didn’t really speak. Other than that. Dr made up for it. ??

I went in to get my first of 3 HA injections, which I’ve had before with Dr. Rodriguez. I appreciate his calm demeanor during the injection & always, his informing me as he goes of what I may feel, and his expertise to give great injections each time. Highly recommend if you need injections.

Dr. Rodriguez spent time with me regarding my arthritic knees. Dr. Rodriguez gave my injections and personally called me prior to the procedure and 3 weeks later to answer any questions or concerns. Excellent service. I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez.

Front Office staff is not willing to help, lack customer service, told had hospital discharge papers and didn’t bother to make copies and don’t receive referrals and don’t fax clinical reports to primary care physician, had a terrible office experience and due to staff would not recommend specialist, hopefully have customer service training in future but need to make drastic changes, takes really bad service for me to write a review

Love this amazing Doc. I’m 74 years old. It’s been a long time since I’ve had an MD take the time to explain everything. He was patient and gentle and listened. I can’t wait to go back and get him to take care of more of my issues (which at my age are numerous).
