I spent my career in hospitals and have seen many practitioners at work. Dr. Rodriquez is among the most patient-friendly providers I have ever seen. He was organized, but not hurried, and he made sure I understood my disease and the rationale for his interventions. He was exceptional in all aspects of the care he provided.

I waited 57 minutes beyond my appointment time to see the doctor. My appointment was made several months ahead of time and I feel that amount of wait time is unacceptable. Also, if I am expected to wait nearly 1 hour, the staff should inform me of the expected wait time instead of just leave me in the room and say "he will be in shortly"
