Dr. Rodriguez has been treating my son since his first football injury at the end of his freshman season. He's treated everything from bursitis to torn ankle ligaments. I've never felt that he doesn't have my son's best interest at heart. The man's actually come across the field to help diagnose and treat my son at a football game before. Just unbelievable. He stopped watching his own son to come help mine.Thank you, Dr. Rodriguez and your staff.

Dr. Rodriguez was the kindest Dr. I have ever seen. My son hurt his knee in his last football game. Dr Rodriguez made a timely and accurate diagnosis fixed his knee and he was able to start at quarterback for the first game the following season. I would highley recommend him to anyone with a sports medicine problem.
