Dr Rhodes is fantastic. He's very professional and answers all my questions (even the weird, specific ones). Ive read reviews about his 'bedside manner' not being preferred, but I think he's great. Coming from a military background myself, I can tell when people are getting to the point and getting the information across clear and concise and that's exactly what he does. For me, my friends, and family, it's exactly what we like in a doctor.

He listened well, he was thorough and offered good solutions for my daughter's injury. He spoke to us in layman's terms that we could understand and was genuinely nice.
