Dr. Rodriguez is #1 in all critical categories. I needed a hip replacement and delayed it until after Summer 2023 so I could enjoy the summer and be in optimal shape for the surgery. My goal - November surgery and back on my bicycle by Springtime. Having delayed the surgery (hip was problematic for over a year) I was in a bit of pain. First was time spent explaining the problem, the operation and the recovery. The communication was superb, with Dr. Rodriguez patiently and comprehensively explaining everything. He was never rushed, making you feel like the center of his attention. And his office team is phenomenal in terms of responding to emails and phone calls. Second, the surgery was flawless. As predicted, I arrived in the morning and walked out at 4PM the same day. The follow up care was superb. I took it slow and followed all directions - use of walker and cane, home exercises, and stationary bike until April 1. Sure enough I was back outdoors on the bike April 1 climbing the mountains. I was pain-free the same day after the surgery; the incision was minor and is mostly gone. I also stopped pain medication on day 3. Dr. Rodriguez is a good person, with a wonderful demeanor and relationship with patients, and a master and skilled surgeon.
