I don't normally write reviews for doctors but my experience this week needs to be shared. I've been seeing Dr. Cynthia Rodrigues at this practice for around eight years. I came to her in desperation. I had been extremely sick with some type of respiratory illness for a month, on high doses of prednisone, had taken courses of a few different antibiotics and had been placed on a bunch of different asthma drugs. I continued to be in and out of my primary doctor's office and the ER for breathing treatments. Every time we tried to taper off the prednisone I ended up in the ER. Dr. Rodrigues ordered a bunch of tests, changed up my medication and figured out what was wrong with me. I've seen her twice a year ever since. I've never had to wait longer than ten minutes in the waiting room to be seen. That's unheard of. I had an appointment yesterday. The day before the office advised me that she had a meeting and may be running slightly late and gave me the option to reschedule to later that afternoon. What doctor's office does that??? I decided to take my chances as my husband and I had plans for the afternoon. I waited about a half hour to see Dr. Rodrigues and she apologized profusely when she arrived. I've waited much longer at other offices with no heads up and no apologies. If you are asthmatic, like I am, starting on an antibiotic as soon as you feel a cold start to go into your chest is the difference between a common cold and bronchtis. Instead of worrying about being able to charge me for an office visit, Dr. Rodrigues will give me a prescription for Z-Pac to have on hand at the start of the cold and flu season it has saved me a few times when I've come down with a nasty cold over the weekend. She's also generous with free samples of the medications she prescribes. This practice is located in Truesdale Clinic and parking is a bitch. That's all there is to it. There is additional parking behind the building or you can use the valet service. If you have respiratory issues, it would be well worth your time to pay a visit to this office. read more
