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.

Dr. Rodriguez spent a lot of time with me. I felt he was thorough, Well educated in his field and communication between patient and Doctor was clear and concise. I’m not yet finished with my diagnosis and treatment as he has prescribed more scans to complete my profile. I would recommend this Dr. to my friends and family. He knows what he’s doing.

Dr Jose Rodriguez is the most amazing surgeon I have ever had the privilege of seeing. This exceptional surgeon and gentleman spends time with you. As much time as needed for you to fully understand your condition. He faces you as though you are the most important part of his day. He LISTENS! He is brilliant and maintains an equal conversation. He is humble and does not make you feel inferior or unknowledgeable. I have learned a lot from this amazing brilliant gentleman.

I started with Dr. Rodriguez at Inland. When the diagnosis of my condition was determined and the decision to have surgery was made, Dr. Rodriguez made sure I got the best neurosurgeon in their group for my condition and he assisted. He is a very caring and professional Neurosurgeon. I would highly recommend him.

The practice requires medical records be submitted one month before the appointment so the doctor can review the records prior to the appointment. They charge the insurance for this records review. Dr Rodriguez had not looked at the records prior to the appointment; he was looking for the CD of the MRI and couldn't find it; one set of surgical records had been sitting on an office desk without being scanned in. After a cursory exam, he told me to live with the pain. What a disappointment.

Dr Rodriguez saved my life. I went to see him with what I thought was a disc herniation in my neck. Well thanks to his knowledge and expertise, he suspected a brain aneurysm and sent me immediately to the ER, Sure enough, I did have an aneurysm which had ruptured. I believe that if I hadn't chosen him as my neurosurgeon, I may not be here today. Thank you so much Dr Rodriguez!
