The polypectomy recently performed by Dr Rodriguez has produced a significant and positive life changing improvement. At the 2 APR appointment, Dr Rodriguez succinctly explained the general outcome of an even more recent procedure that was referred to an oncologist.

Dr. Rodriguez was very professional, attentive, and took his time to understand what my issue was. Best ENT I've experienced, hands down.
