 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a deep plane facelift, upper blepharoplasty, fat grafting, CO2 laser, and my experience exceeded all of my expectations. From my initial consultation through recovery, I felt informed, supported, and genuinely cared on every step of the way.
Dr. Rodriguez took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, and both he and Isabel patiently answered all of my questions, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision.
The results are exactly what I had hoped for—natural, refreshed, and never overdone. My recovery went smoothly, and the entire staff was attentive, responsive, and always available whenever I had questions.
I couldn't be happier with my outcome and would confidently recommend this practice to anyone considering facial rejuvenation. Thank you to Dr. Rodriguez and the entire team for your professionalism, exceptional skill, and compassionate care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Initially I had lip injections, for some reason it didn’t take. I contacted the office, they asked me to come back. Once they compared my before and after pictures, they agreed with me and gave me another full dose, same as before, at no charge. They were kind and never made me feel anything but understood!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Rodriguez and his team have been exceptional from my initial consultation through every post-op appointment. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and I always felt genuinely cared for. From the moment I walked in, everything was handled efficiently and professionally.

What stood out most was how much time Dr. Rodriguez spent with me. He never made me feel like I was asking too many questions, and I never felt rushed during any appointment. He always took the time to sit down, listen to my concerns, and answer every question thoroughly, no matter how long it took.

After my breast implant surgery, he saw me multiple times for follow-up and scar care, and the level of support never faded. Whether it was Dr. Rodriguez himself or a member of his team, responses were always prompt and helpful—even after hours when needed. Even months after surgery, they continue to provide the same outstanding level of care and service, which is something you don't find everywhere.

The attention, communication, and genuine concern for their patients make this practice worth every penny. I always felt heard, valued, and supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and his wonderful team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For two years I have been researching for a plastic surgeon to have my older breast implants replaced to a smaller size. Three months before my consultation with Dr Rodriguez, I started following his stories on Instagram. I very much liked what I was seeing that I finally decided to book a consultation.

For anyone that reads reviews like I do…. This is for you.
From my very first consultation appointment, to surgery, and follow ups; everyone from the receptionist Brittney, nurse Rachel, to Dr Rodriguez have been absolutely amazing!  Never once has anyone made me feel rushed, especially Dr Rodriguez. He literally takes his time with you, answers any and all questions you may have, and I know I ask a lot of questions.

I genuinely feel that I made the best decision in choosing Dr Rodriguez. I felt so comfortable with him that I brought my daughter in for liposuction on her stomach and love handles.

I recently had a touch up procedure, following up on the same procedure… absolutely OUTSTANDING! Loving my results.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are looking for a plastic surgeon, Dr Rodriguez is the one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I already did the research for you.

Dr Rodriguez, I can’t thank you and your team enough.
PS. I can’t wait for my next procedure 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellentexperience with Dr. Rodriguez. He and the front office staff were incredibly kind, courteous, and professional. Dr. Rodriguez has extensive experience in his field And it shows in his demeanor and patient bedside manner, in a system where it is incredibly hard to have a provider actually listen and understand Your specific needs he hit all the marks. They accommodated me on multiple occasions and went the extra mile when a different provider was unable to meet the needs that I had. The office is also incredibly clean and well-maintained. I would recommend Dr. Rodriguez and his office to anyone in the San Diego area that is looking for fast, professional, surgical and specialty medical needs.
