He was lovely from the beginning, as he came into the exam room with a smile on his face & his hand outstretched to shake! He was thorough in asking me questions about my health, lifestyle, etc. He treated me with respect & kindness! After a brief exam, & informing me that he had seen my scans, he told me (much to my relief) that I actually did not require his vascular expertise at all; just to monitor my condition & follow up in a year or two. Even if the outcome of my exam were different, Dr. H.E. Rodriguez is a jewel of a doc.
