Dr. Rodriguez goes above beyond to ensure you receive quality care and that all your questions are answered. She has made sure that I have been successful in my journey. She is a one of a kind provider, a true patient advocate.

It was very professional and the people was very friendly!

This is the second appointment where I've waited a long time past my appointment time. I believe this time was about an hour behind. In my prior appointment I was called and asked if I wanted to come in earlier since there were openings and ended up waiting about an hour and a half. I know things change and get behind but it's tough when you're making accommodations with your work schedule. All else goes well.

NRHS needs to figure out some of their clinic situations because my doctor has been pushed in with three other doctors there and evidently her patients aren't as important as the other doctors patients because they will get rooms before Dr. Rodriguez's patients do which is ridiculous.
