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. Rod repaired a hand injury 11 years ago that worked out very well considering the damage I had done. In late 2018 I had him do a left shoulder bicep tear and a right shoulder rotator, both old sports injuries that went very well too. I have read the complaints about waiting and I understand. But, he has never, ever rushed an appointment and takes as much time as necessary helping you to understand what the expected duration/outcome will be.

I recommend this surgeon because he didn't operate. He was my second opinion and he explained that my wrist problem might resolve...and it did. I also watched one of his partners take excellent care of a close relative(spine problem). I'm a retired M.D. who has long believed that birds of a feather flock together...so I'd trust anyone in their group.

Scheduled for surgery to repair a torn tendon in my wrist that has been bothering me for over a year. Have seen several other doctors and gone through countless months of pointless therapy, wish I would have gone to Dr. Rodriguez in the first place. Very kind and caring.

I was kept waiting 1 hour and 10 minutes by Dr Jorge Rodriguez. My time is valuable, too. I finally got my copay back and left, without seeing the doctor.

I came to Dr. Rodrigues because of pain in my hand I had previously seen another orthopedic surgeon who said I must have hand surgery immediately. I came to see Dr. Rodrigues for a second opinion. I was very impressed that he did not recommend surgery immediately but try more conservative management . He referred me to his hand occupational therapist irma. She is brilliant and very compassionate caring and has vast knowledge of hand injury and treatment.Dr. Rodrigues, Irma Excellent team.
