Hi, I am new here. Has anyone had their surgery with Dr. Rodriguez yet? Can you share your experience? I am nervous about booking a surgery out of the country.

Thanks - Leni

Hi Brownie,

U have nothing to worry about !! I had mine with Dr Rod at INT 04/26/13. Overall a good experience. The day shift nurses and all the Drs speak good English. The night ones may have a harder time communicating but they know what to do and your meds etc.

I was a lil nervous but it was a good experience. You have ur own room n it's only 10 rooms per floor I think.

Email me at giffojess@gmail if u have further questions ...

Take care n good luck !

Hi Brownie7....Dr Rod and his complete staff are amazing!! Like slimchic said the night nurses are a lil hard to communicate with but their is always a Dr on the floor that speaks perfect English. The hospital is so clean and everyone is there to help you! You CANT go wrong with Dr Rodriguez....he is the best if you ask me!!

It's a little bit hard to type on my mobile phone...But I want to at least say that everything at this hospital is top notch. If anyone is considering different surgeons... I can only speak for this one; but everything was absolutely phenomenal...the Staff, the doctors the facility... everything A+++ I will write a full review of my experience when I am home on Monday.

Hey, everyone! Just got home on Saturday after surgery with Dr. Rod on Thursday. First, I have to say, I was the biggest chicken before I left-I worried about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. There was nothing that did not cross my mind...but...it could not have been a better experience! I can't say anything bad about the whole thing. I was treated so well. Dr. Rodriquez is wonderful! It's all good, I promise! I am 4 days out today and feel just fine. The hospital is clean and nice and the staff is awesome.

I'm schedule for my vsg with Dr Rodriguez at star medica in Juarez Mexico on July 12th the nerves are kicking in, but overall feel very confident about my choice, have only find good comments and experiences about the surgeon and his team, anybody knows how many surgeries he has schedule a day?

[Slimchic2013 3]

Rocilore33 ... Hard to say how many per day Dr Rod does but he's good at what he does !! I had mine done 04/26/13 and no complications. Good experience overall with Belite Dr. Rod , Dr. Elmo & the anesthesiologist (lady Dr, real good too). You are gonna be fine !!
