TESTIMONIALS

"I have been to several pain specialists and suffer with chronic pain mainly from gout and back injury. Dr. Rodriguez has by far been successful in every area to manage my pain so I can have a quality life and be able to work pain free. I highly recommend him and the people who have wrote bad reviews about him have a problem of their own like always."

"I had my third epidural steroid injections done today and I wanted to thank the wonderful staff at Dr. Rodriguez’ office. The OR and post op nurses are great. This is a fantastic team who make you feel cared for and comfortable from the time you enter the facility. A big thumbs up to Dr. Rodriguez and nurses and others who help take the nervousness away with their great care and laughter. I am about 2 weeks out from my third shot and it has really helped. I am 1 out of 10 on the pain scale. Will be the first Christmas in 5 years that I’ve been able to go home almost pain free!"

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Rodriguez for a few months. It all started from nerve damage after a hip replacement and dislocation of the new prosthetic. Dr. Rodriguez was thorough in his original assessment. He always addressed my questions. My husband once joined me late for an appointment and Dr. Rodriguez turned and greeted him as well as went over information he just covered with me. I am 31 and had a spinal cord stimulator surgery a week ago since the trial showed great results."
