Dr. Rodriguez took a lot of time with us to talk about not only emotions, I was worried about depression or anxiety even though it was just a yearly checkup and helped us understand a lot. He took a lot of time with us which he didn't have to do so I highly recommend him and I hate that he's leaving the practice retiring soon. It'll be a great loss.
