5 /5 Tony Paradise: I had numerous bouts of Diverticulitis which put me in the hospital for 4 days at a time. I met Dr. Rodriguez in Bethesda West Hospital and we hit it off immediately. He was professional and friendly. He explained the procedure completely and never put pressure on me to have the surgery. When I decided to have the surgery, he was amazing checking in me multiple times a day and discharged me when I was ready. I cant say enough good things about Dr. Rodriguez. Since then, I developed a hernia and no one but him will do the repair.
