I was very pleased with this service. I have known this practice since the beginning of the 70's. Dr. H. Friedman was my Physician at that time. Ever since, I don't change them for no one.

Dr cardona Rodriguez was a wonderful considerate physician who was very helpful and was able to alleviate many of my symptoms.I would highly recommend him to all my friends who would need an Ear Specialist.?
