The caregiver did a remarkable job.

Dr. Rodriguez was primarily focused on the typical' presentation of my diagnosis rather than MY presentation. She could not have been any less concerned about the severity or nature of my symptoms. She neglected the basic areas of testing such as deep tendon and primitive reflexes despite having multiple notes from multiple doctors about my abnormal reflexes. It was very obvious her mind was made up on the level of care she was willing to provide to me before I entered the room. I waited two months for this visit and it was a waste of my time. 0/5
