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.

Excellent!! Professional and explains everything in detail. He doesn’t rush you out either. Answered all my questions.The staff is amazing too.

Excellent Physician
Dr.Rodas took his time explaining my MRI’s and I didn’t feel rushed. He answered all my questions and we came up with a plan. I would not go to anyone else. He cares about his patients and the staff is very nice as well. A breath of fresh air.

Thee Best
I had been in so much pain for years, even had to leave my job. Several Surgeons flat out said they could not help me. After several years of suffering I came across Dr. Rodas name & information about him so I had no one else to turn to. On my appointment day he called me back after viewing my last MRI. He began to tell me just how he could help me. Yes, he said surgery and I just started crying because I am finally getting help. Let me tell you, my lumbar was a wreck & Dr. Rodas did his magic & today I am 90% better! This Man is a wonderful person. He truly cares! He’s not so good with pain medicine but I am so thankful to him. The surgery was very painful, months of healing but I’d do it all over again for these results. I always tell my husband that I love this Man! Haha.

He was very patient and listened to all my concerns and told me what exactly was going on with my neck and injuries. He LISTENED to me which in my opinion means the world to me. I wish all drs that I have seen in the past would do the same. Thanks Dr Rodas .

Superior Skills and Compassionate Care
Dr. Rodas has been my neurosurgeon for almost 20 years, having performed multiple spinal surgeries on me for degenerative disease. He is the most compassionate, skilled clinician and without him I would likely be debilitated or disabled. Conservative when necessary, but adept in groundbreaking new procedures and technology, he has always taken me down the right path for my condition and I am forever grateful to know him and his office team.

I have been a patient of Dr Rodas for several months and to me it’s like being around family members on each visit! I’m definitely a huge fan of the kindness displayed by Dr Rodas and his Staff! He takes his time with each patient so no one should ever leave with any questions in their mind . His people skills and ability to provide the best care for each patient are his top priority. I have heard people complain about waiting but I never minded the waiting because I knew the personal Interest he was taking with each patient is something that we don’t receive very often. So YES from me to rate Dr Rodas and his staff the best around!
