Dirk I Rodriguez
"Dr. Rodriquez is a very kind and considerate doctor. I spoke with a nurse there who has had this surgery and both the doctor and his nurse were very helpful in answering all my questions and concerns. They told me of all the risks and benefits. I feel that I do not have any other options anymore. We spoke of the walking that must take place after surgery. Dr. Rod. made me feel very at ease and he was not hateful or rude. I have had Doctors in the past that almost hate anyone who it overweight. I am waiting on insurance to approve this surgery. He has a web site, www. advancedsurgerygroup.com I attented a WLS support group in my area and Dr. Rodriguez took time out of his busy life to come and answer any questions that the group had. He talked to us about an hour and a half. He is one of the most caring docotors that I have ever met I was so impressed with him. He is a very skilled doctor and has not lost a patient to this surgery. Howeveer he does not take anything lightly either and he prays for his patients. I think I would highly recommend this Doctor to anyone who is thinkg of having this surgery. I am now post-op and I feel fine. I am 5 days post-op and I am home from the hospital. My Doctor sat down with me in my room and had a long chat with me about the do's and don't of working at home after the surgery. I am making progress in healing but I know that it will take time to heal. My Doctor's bedside manner is great. Everything that I asked for I received, such as nausea meds and then I could not have a BM for several days so we had to leave the NG tube in and I asked for throat spray for the constant pain and was given that to help and it did help alot. I would recommend my surgeon to anyone who needed one. I went for my post-op appt. today and Dr. Rodriguez spent at least thirty minutes with me discussing how I was, did I have any problems, How my eating and excerise was going, and just about everything. He is the most remarkable doctor that I have ever met. He cares for you as a person and joins everything we do as a group as much as He care. May God bless this wonderful man for He has been a blessing to me. "
