Hector P. Rodriguez, MD - Poughkeepsie (NY)

1 /5 Jerry Gartrell: He’s a cool guy and all but he doesn’t really help and I feel as though he doesn’t care because when I explained my symptoms concerning my sinus infection all he did was see me for about 5 minutes and he was moving super quickly. He blew this air gadget device up one of my nostrils and went up my nose with something else showing me blood like I don’t know what I have going on with my self.. long story short because I can say a whole lot. I’ve been suffering with sinus infections for 14+ years. I was looking to get surgery done so I can get my breathing back to normal. This doctor didn’t want to understand what I was saying to him and all he did was prescribed me nasal sprays that I could buy at a local pharmacy. Those sprays did absolutely nothing for me because I am still suffering with those symptoms till this day. I’ve spent so much money just to be seen for five minutes seems like I was scammed. I paid $80 for copayment And next thing I know they are sending me a bill in the mail for $350 when I have insurance that should have covered everything . Remind you, I was only seen for five minutes and I am still suffering with my sinus infection. I am currently looking to see another doctor in another state because all this company wants is your pockets. I would never see this doctor again because he did absolutely nothing for me..

1 /5 ALBERTO CABRERA: The office itself is fine. But dont get Dr. Rodriguez unless you want a doctor who doesnt believe you have an illness. This doctor is the worst- DO NOT GO TO HIM!! Terrible doctor and racist, he only gave me an ointment for a dry mouth and told me that I have nothing and that that is his opinion even though I told him all the discomfort I have and he didnt want to do any medical study and I paid almost 300 dollars because I dont have health insurance for 5 minutes that he treated me and told me that I have nothing

5 /5 Brian Iacopelli: It is a crime to put this man below 5 stars Dr.Rodriguez is the best Doctor I have had the pleasure of seeing. I wish he was my primary doctor. He takes his time with his patients. Allows me to ask ALOT of questions. He is patient, knowledgable, charismatic, and truly the best Doctor you will find in Poughkeepsie. I don’t trust doctors up here and he’s the only person I trust. The people that gave him under 5 stars have no idea what they are talking about and I would put my life on a stack of bibles saying this is the best doctor I have ever seen. He removed my tonsils and did an extraordinary job and continues to go out of his way to help me when I need it with anything ent related. LOVE THIS GUY you are in terrific hands if you are seeing him!

1 /5 anthony: My girlfriend spent days in vassar hospital with a jaw line /ear that was so inflamed she couldn’t open her mouth, she had severe pain and swelling. With the due diligence and kindness of hospital Staff she improved but there was still swelling and concern. The hospital wanted an ENT to take a look and tried getting a ENT in but nobody would come in so she was discharged and sent immediately to Dr Rodriguez. He was arrogant, dismissive, aggressive & rushed. He told her that the hospital always over reacts. When she showed him pictures of the progression of her swelling…he laughed. He told her she had an infection, she needed to take her antibiotic and she’d be fine. He then ran thru a few rushed tests . Without any warning or explanation sucked the wax, liquid whatever it was out of her ear. He told her to stop moving around. She told him he was hurting her. He didn’t adjust or say he was sorry. Just kept going on. He then sat down and said maybe she’s just an anxious woman and she didn’t realize it . He said she probably clenches her jaw unknowingly and just has TMJ As I said After a 4 day ordeal of uncertainty, pain & exhaustion . Exposure to this man was not what we needed. I cannot attest to anyone else in the practice but I don’t suggest seeing this man. She left rattled, upset and in the same pain she showed up with. In addition she was very defeated with no answers.

5 /5 Julie Anne: I have seen numerous ENTs before I met Dr. Rodriguez that have sent me home with antibiotics that didn’t seem to help. I had recurring throat infections for 6 years & a peritonsillar abscess that spontaneously drained 3x. I was waking up every night, getting throat infections monthly, & abscesses that could potentially be very dangerous. At my very first visit with Dr. Rodriguez, he confirmed my health concerns with me that all previous doctors had denied. He then told me that he would take care of me, & that he did. Just 1 month later, I had my tonsillectomy surgery performed by Dr. Rodriguez as an outpatient procedure right next door at Vassar Brothers Hospital. I am so thankful to have had a surgeon as informative and knowledgeable as Dr. Rodriguez. He’s experienced, professional, has a huge personality, & a phenomenal listener. (For most of my visits I went on & on about my symptoms) I can’t say enough to express my satisfaction. I am now 3 days post-op tonsillectomy, most of my pain has subsided and I can breathe like never before!! No physician has brought me the relief that Dr. Rodriguez has. - *It’s now been 4 months since my tonsillectomy surgery & I haven’t gotten sick since before my surgery. Not even a small cold. My voice sounds a lot less congested & I almost can’t believe I was in so much pain before- this is your sign to see Dr. Rodriguez for all your ear, nose & throat related concerns. :)
