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.

Dave Boies had CABG X 5 in 2007 at the Rio Grande Regional hosp. His heart was in such bad shape that Dr.thought 5 - 10 yrs longevity at best. Dave lived another 17 yrs and died at 82 yrs. Good job, doctor.

He performed bypass surgery on my sister in July of 2017. He was arrogant and had a God complex. He has a terrible bedside manner. He is very rude to hospital staff, patients and family members. I'm a nurse practitioner and asked him a question and he wouldn't answer me or my sister. My sister ended up with a major hospital acquired infection to the incision. During the surgery he injured my sister's neck and shoulder. I would not let him treat an animal much less any person.

FROM ALL INDICATIONS I WAS VERY PLEASE WITH DR. RODRIGUEZ EXPLANATION OF MY CURRENT AORTIC STENOSIS BASED ON PREVIOUS CHECKUPS FROM MY CARDIOLOGIST. I THOUGHT THAT HIS EXPLANATION OF MY CONDITION WAS WITH MY STENOSIS WAS VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I ALSO THOUGHT THAT HIS APPROACH TO DO ANOTHER ECHO TO VERIFY MY CONDITION A GREAT APPROACH SO THAT A BETTER APPROACH CAN BE MADE TO IMPROVE MY CONDITION. THE STAFF HE HAS WAS ALSO VERY CORDIAL AND PEOPLE ORIENTATED! GREAT PERSON AND DOWN TO EARTH!

My 86 year young dad had a quadruple bypass February 21, performed by Dr Rodriguez. He is an amazing Doctor with a heart of gold. From the moment we met him, he was a cut above and God sent. We can't say enough great things about Dr Rodriguez and his staff. He is very well known as a doctor that cares and ultimately becomes a friend to his patients. My dad is doing amazing because Dr. Rodriguez saved his life and told my dad he was now 66 instead of 86. Doctor, you saved my dad's life.??????

Operated on my father triple by pass. He had to redo surgery because rib cage was not sewn back together correctly. The surgery to correct their mistake is what made things worse. Very arrogant and has bad bedside manners. People are scared and he comes into room and talks down to everyone as if we were all doctors. He told me and my family no one dies on my watch. Well he got a call from me on that day my father passed away.
