Dr. Rodriguez was kind, thorough, efficient, didn't rush anything and explained everything well. He kept asking me if I was in pain/ how I was feeling before he would proceed, as well as keeping me updated on what he was doing/ what was next/ how much time left. It's not comfortable to get a procedure done awake, but he did everything to make me as comfortable as possible.

Dr. Rodriguez is experienced he kind I have confidence in him. He said I did not need surgery now, to come back in one year. I rated him a 10 because he deserves it, but sadly he spent about 5-7 minutes with me, said I need ultrasound tests on my legs, and soon he left. I had several questions which I couldn't ask.
