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.

I’m sure Dr Rodriguez saved my life. He is an excellent doctor. I’m so lucky i was able to get him to perform my prostatectomy. He has a genuine down to earth personality. Unfortunately he will be retiring soon. If you can get him before he retires, i would highly recommend him. I hope whoever takes his place can fill his shoes.

HIS STAFF TAKES THERE MERRY OLD TIME. IT CAN TAKE
HIS STAFF TAKES THERE MERRY OLD TIME. IT CAN TAKE WEEKS TO SIMPLY SET UP APPOINTMENTS. IF YOU ESCALATE IT TO THE PRACTICE MANAGER, FORGET IT, SHE IS TERRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL, DISGUSTING IN FACT. SHE IS A MEAN GATE KEEPER WHO BLOCKS PATIENTS FROM GETTING HELP OR GETTING MESSAGES TO DR. RODRRIGUEZ. SHE IS DEFENSIVE AND AN EXCUSE MAKER. I THINK HER NAME IS STACY. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS IN A MANAGEMENT POSITION. I SURE WOULDN'T WANT TO WORK AROUND HER!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Rodriguez about a year or so ago. During the appointment(s} I had with him I found him to be rude, uncaring and not at all interested in me as a patient. I found his assistant to be the same. During any testing he never told me what to expect. Some of these tests are invasive. It would nice to know what to expect. During one of the tests I fell off the exam table. I received no help from Dr. Rodriguez or his assistant. On the first appointment I told him my concerns that I wanted addressed. I also repeated my concerns multiple times through all the appts. He never listened to me. His diagnosis had nothing to do with the concerns I had. Fortunately my PCP reviewed the test results and was able to address the issue.

I had a recent urology consult appointment with Dr. Rodriquez. My wife attended the appointment with me. We both loved Dr. Rodriquez. He has a terrific bedside manner and a very pleasant personality. He explained my condition thoroughly and in words we could understand. He answered all our questions and seemed genuinely interested in me as a patient. If you need a urologist ask for Dr. Paul Rodriquez - you won't be disappointed!

The office did not have our records prior to our appointment which was disappointing. Dr. scrambled to obtain them in the middle of our appointment and was unprepared. If you are struggling with male factor infertility, we would not recommend this doctor. He told us our problem was natures way of selecting who will reproduce and who wont. We had many questions and he treated us like our problem wasn’t worth his time. He was highly recommended and we left incredibly disappointed and hopeless.

The Dr. is quite unpleasant. He is rude to staff and didn't seem to care about my condition. It's time for him to take his millions and retire.
