Graduating with the class of 1996, Dr. Rodriguez earned his medical degree from the Central Caribbean University School of Medicine.

The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.
Geriatrics, or geriatric medicine, is a medical specialty focused on providing care for the unique health needs of older adults. Geriatricians are primary care doctors who have additional training in treating older adults, especially those 65 and up.
Enjoying bedside medicine and talking to patients, Dr. Rodriguez attributes his success to the love and passion in what he does. He became involved in his profession because he had a neighbor who was an ophthalmologist. He was inspired and developed an interest in medicine seeing all his instruments and the patients that came into his clinic, and so he decided to specialize in internal medicine because he was not satisfied with working in just one discipline.
On a more personal note, Dr. Rodriguez is fluent in English and Spanish.
