Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Rodas
- Carter
Spends a lot of time explaining and going over options. Best surgeon in Florida. I can't say enough good things. Wish I could give 10stars
- Donna
Best neurosurgeon in Florida hands down. Very compassionate and takes his time
- Margaret
Dr Robas lacks follow up skills. Dr. Robas never spoke to me after first or second surgery on my husband despite many attempts to reach him. Dr Robas causes a lot of inconvience and needless travel for patient by not keeping appointments. Dr Robas receptionist is a nasty and confused person in my opinion. No bedside manner. Operated on my husband in a very weaked condition. Did not tell wife he was going to do surgery at the time he did it. I would not recommend him.
