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.

Wasn't the right fit
My boys were premies and released into Dr. Rodriguez's care. I only had two appointments with him, both of which felt rushed and any questions I had were answered ambiguously. I had issues with formula and severe constipation and was met with I needed to breast feed more- when I clearly stated I had a supply issue with my twins. My final straw was when I had to demand they check their iron levels both visits as requested by the NICU since they were discharged with severe anemia. Which they begrudgingly obliged, to find that their levels were still significantly low. We made the decision to move to Dr. Cepero and immediately had all of my questions answered. Was sent for several referrals deemed necessary due to their prematurity. Our first appoint the staff spent 2-3 hours going over everything with us. Now I know that's not always reasonable, and I certainly didn't ask them to. They simply did. The difference was night and day, I'm glad I went with my gut and got my boys better care.

Everyone worked well together. His office was very clean and comfortable. The office seems to work well with all the questions that I had about billing and insurance. The nurse was very nice. She answered questions and did all of the testing great. The Doctor examined [NAME] and talked about my Daughter's illness. Then he checked her out some more. Than he sent us back up to the front. The receptionist gave us all of the paperwork and a referral with a list of providers. It was a great appointment

Today Feb 19, 2020 was our first visit with this doctor. My first impression was what a friendly and a great personality he had with my 5 year old son. My wife felt the same way as I did. My 5 year old son told me that he really liked this Doctor better than the other one he had been seeing since he was born. This Doctor is an amazing Doctor that explained everything about my son's illness and was very helpful to answer our questions.

Dr. Rodriguez has been my children's doctor since 2003. I have three kids and appointments are made without issues. The staff has been there for as long as I have been going there. Very friendly and patient with questions (and I usually have many). I trust the expertise of Dr. Rodriguez and his staff. He is very kid-friendly and loves to interact with them on their level. If at any time our insurance changes and he is not covered under that insurance, I will stay with him and pay myself!
