    Dr Richard Rodriguez is a very kind, caring, personable, and knowledgeable surgeon. He performed a small intestine resection on my 91 year old mother from which she recovered extremely well. Also, he recently removed melanoma from my back. I will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of a surgeon.
