Dr. Rodriguez is the best physician I have had. His examination and questions are very thorough. His explanations of my condition leave me with more knowledge than I have gained from any previous physician. His use of PPE (more than any other provider I have been to) made me feel very safe.

Very happy with my appointment with Dr. Rodriguez. He was very knowledgeable and up To date with recent research and he seemed driven by care for his patients, including me, rather than his ego. I do appreciate a doctor who is honest and straightforward about his professional opinion, but also happy to support me In making decisions that work best for me and my body. I also appreciated the clear communication between us. I never felt lost or ignored.

A virtual visit leaves a lot to be desired. After a transplant and kidney issues it would be beneficial to have hands on face to face evaluation.
