the WORST. All personality but ZERO interest in the patient's health. I clicked ONE STAR only because I had to.

I saw Dr. 3x before I realized he was not really diagnosing me correctly for the GI issue I was suffering with. He repeated tests I had already had done and just seemed to not be thorough. Consistently late up to one hour wait from appointment time. I knew by 3rd appointment I needed to change doctors when he asked what I was there to be seen for to his medical assistant and I heard him. Obviously not a real interest in care and communication with patients.

Dr R is very personable and genuinely careing. He is very thorough with me and I never have a since of him being rushed. He is also has a great since of humor. Without a doubt o would recommend Dr R to anyone and feel absolutely confident that they would also feel the same.

LOVE Dr. Rodriguez... he has the best bedside manners I have ever experienced at a Drs office. The wait time is almost non-existent and his genuine care is amazing. He also has amazing staff!

Boy, that person who commented on Dr. R's high mortality rate, did not stop to consider the demographics of his practice, which is primarily AIDS/HIV ??? It's not exactly the healthiest group out there! He is gentle, personabe, respectful, compassionate, quick, bright, and one of the funniest md's I've ever met. His impersonation of the Three Stooges Stellar! will forever be...my friend

After having Dr. Rodgiguez as my primary care Physician, I can't imagine facing Medical issues without a patient advocate because that is what Dr. Rodgiguez is in addition to being in the top of his field in the Medical Profession.

Dr. Rodriguez is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever had. I have been his patient for over 15 years. I have been HIV positive for 25years. He has saved my life! He devotes his personal time to humanitarian causes. He heads the AIDS Foundation. He does research. He publishes articles! I don't know how he does it. Anyone who is dissatisfied is the type of person who will NEVER be satisfied or hold a grudge because the doctor didn't do what he wanted.Dr. Rod is the best!!!

I went to Dr. Rodriguez for about 2 years when I was living in Orange County. Unfortunately I moved back to Indiana and was unable to see him anymore. Doctor's like him are very few and far between.
