Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kind and Understanding
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Rodiguez for ten years, without any question about his ability. He is always willing to listen and his advice has had positive results. He is a good choice and we recommend him whenever possible.

Dr. Rodrigues truly cares and goes beyond and above. Me and my husband are in his care for almost eight years and are so impressed with his medical knowledge and tender, loving care. Wish we could have more doctors like him. Dr. Rodrigues is epitome of family doctor - considering, proficient, kind and knowledgeable , explaining condition well .

This doctor is a gem.
I was actually called back two minutes BEFORE my appointment time. Staff is helpful and friendly. But Dr. Rodriguez is the best. He is gentle, soft spoken and caring. Responsive to needs. I definitely recommend this doctor. You will be in good hands.

Very disappointed
I was misled by the good recommendation and was decided Dr Rodriguez to be my family doctor. I am very disappointed from him.He doesn't listen what I told him about my health problems and argue with me. Well I understand he is medical doctor but I know much more about my health problems.He doean't really care to help me only to charge my insurance.For people in the reception- they are the same.

Terrible office visit. A waste of time!
The doctor is not interested in the patient. Just wants to make sure he gets paid. Supposedly, the tests he himself ordered never were sent to him. Try another physician.

Highly Recommend Dr Rodriquez - Among the Best
A retired doctor recommended Dr Rodriquez to me after I asked him for his though a concierge doctor which I was considering at the time.I decided to try Dr Rodriquez and was glad I did. He’s very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and spends the time necessary with you.

Excellent Doctor and Person
I really enjoy talking with Dr Rodriguez. He never speaks “down” to you, and it is almost like visiting a knowledgeable friend. Even though I’m in great health - I need guidance- and that’s where Dr. R comes in. He’s great w confirming my thoughts or providing better ideas! He spends time listening, and I don’t feel rushed. I highly recommend both Dr R. And FPG. The whole office is great!

Great Doctor
I have been with Dr. Rodriguez since I moved to Florida 7 years ago. I can't say enough about him. Very skilled, professional, courteous and empathetic. He takes time to listen and genuinely cares about my well-being. I highly recommend him. Also, the staff at First Physicians Group is very helpful and professional.

Best PCP in Sarasota

I am a cancer patient, and until my diagnosis, I didn't have a PCP. How lucky I was when a nurse pointed me in his direction during my outpatient appointment. Dr. Rodriguez really cares about his patients, explains and answers questions as many times as needed for you to understand the technicalities of your situation. And when I had to spend another vacation at Sarasota Memorial, he was there at 8 PM to see me and verify if I needed anything. I trust and recommend him to take care of my family and friends.

I definitely would recommend Dr Rodriguez to anyone in need of a Family Practitioner. It takes a special type of person to embark on a medical career and Dr Carlos Rodriguez has answered his calling. I’ve been seeing him for 5 years. He has always been kind, supportive, professional and a thoughtful listener. I have never felt rushed during my appointments. He has taken time to get to know me, not just as his patient, but, as a person. For me, this is the key to my successful health care. Marlene , Dr Rodriguez’s nurse has always been professional, genuinely caring and kind. The office is very well run from check in to check out by courteous staff.

Dr Rodríguez not only saw me with expediency, but he was also able to refer me to a specialist with whom I saw the next business day due to his insistence. Due to Dr. Rodriguez’s prompt attention I was found to have cancer, which was quickly treated. His passion for medicine is only exceeded by his passion for taking care of people. Dr. Rodriguez along with his staff helped save my life! I am here today because at each and every step I was listened to and treated with absolute professionalism. I have been a healthcare professional for 25 years and I cannot say enough about Dr. Rodriguez and his staff at First Physicians.
