Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Life Saver
Dr. Rodriguez is no doubt the most brilliant Dr. I have ever seen. He has changed the face of psychiatry forever by being a pioneer of new treatments combined with traditional medicine.He persevered and paved his own path, ignoring the naysayers and continuing to dive in and research every new possibility to help his patients. He has more degrees than any other doctor I’ve ever seen, psychiatry or not. His goal is pure, to do whatever it takes to help his patients and hires only kind, caring professionals whose only concern is to make you better. He is an amazing psychopharmacologist.While other psychiatrists did not believe in his ways for years, they have now become mainstream. He offers private & group therapy, PTSD Treatment, ketamine infusions, The Brain Center for TMS and Neurofeedback, Yoga, a gym with juice bar, sauna, with freezing tub to shock your body out of depression. He is building a zen garden, a relaxing place for patients to go to think or meditate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Condescending!
I recently moved to Florida from California where I saw a pre-eminent psychiatrist for well over a decade. We collaboratively fine tuned a medication regimen that treated my long term issues with depression and anxiety. That practitioner treated me with respect and truly valued my feelings and experiences with medication. Dr. Rodriguez was the polar opposite; basically accusing me of being a drug seeking addict. And to top it off he was looking at another patient’s chart. No psychiatrist I’ve ever seen insisted on a urine test prior to treatment. If I wanted substance abuse treatment (which has never been suggested!) I would have asked for it. If you want to be treated as a drug seeking addict who isn’t knowledgeable about their own treatment and mental health issues, then this doctor is for you.

Dr Rodriguez himself is a great doctor and I also like the other physicians, however the medical assistants never return phone calls and will leave you without medication for weeks at a time. I am only changing to a new practice for this reason. This has been a problem for over a year.

I went here to get outpatient Therapy for my son. They told me they don't take Insurance and the out of pocket was $24,000. Not only was absolutely nothing done, they were charging my insurance Co. another $2,000 a day. My son only went mabey 8 times. They just throw you in group therapy not caring about the issue. They also prescribe your loved ones drug of choice. I should have listened to the negative reviews. PLEASE don't go here, its all about the MONEY!!!!! So so sad. The only reason you see 1 star because you could not put in 0

Dr. Rodriguez saved my life. He and his staff are beyond amazing. I've tried many different doctors but his treatments and protocol has surpassed anything else I knew about. His care for his patients goes far beyond what you would expect. He offered a wide range of services that addressed the core issues and symptoms I was struggling with. Anyone who sees Dr. Rodriguez will definitely be blessed and finally get the help needed. I am forever grateful.

Dr. Rodriguez and the Delray Center gave me my life back. With the loving support and knowledge I learned here, I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. They never wavered. You feel like you are part of a family there. everyone does know your name and you matter. Dr. Rodriguez doesn't give up till he finds the best medication for you. I have suffered from depression and low self esteem for my whole life. tried many therapists and psychiatrists and it always came right back. When I came there I could not function and I was crying all the time. I am not that same person anymore. When you hit rock bottom and are in despair and feel like giving up. Don't. There is help there is hope. I am 66 years old now and very thankful. Wish I had had this opportunity when I was 18.

Worst decision of my life. They will take your money, and your mental health. They treat you like a bank, and will do whatever it takes to cover it up if you say it is your responsibility to report them to the health department to save other veterans... seek help elsewhere, I promise you!

Don't put yourself or your loved ones in contact with him in your lowest moments. Now that I've healed fully (*without* his help), that visit/consultation with him was one of my worst memories of my depression. He speaks disrespectfully of women, is arrogant (says that his program is the only way to heal, and uses scare tactics to pressure you to commit), and then proposes absurd prices. He seems to be all about the money. Avoid even doing an initial consultation... this place is scary. I don't typically leave reviews, but I felt it was important for me to come on and share, to try to protect others from the very poor experience I had with this man, during my lowest of moments. Please don't let this place scam you out of money.

Do *not* expect ANY psychiatric analysis from this doctor. Just like almost ALL psychiatrists, they charge a lot and only want to write a prescription. I made clear our expectations and was told I "came to the right place" In fact, they seem to be way more interested in their lucrative Rehab business than actually helping people with psychological issues, this lead doctor spent less than 15 minutes with my child. Definitely look elsewhere.

I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and his staff for their professionalism and commitment to the mental , emotional and physical health of their clients. I showed up with major chronic depression after quitting a pot-smoking addiction of 30 plus years. . Dr. Rodriguez spent a lot of time asking me questions and answering all of mine. Informed by 20 years of experience, he earned my trust by adding on to original medication prescribed by my primary until the correct formula and dosage was found. The integrated approach to healing @ Delray Center afforded me many services and tools from talk therapy, to yoga, to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which worked extremely well in my case. The business was extremely well-organized and scheduling was easy. Most importantly, they took my health insurance, which paid for practically everything. Thank you for helping me rediscover balance and joy in my life.

I had an amazing visit with a Dr. Hawkins. What a place they have there. I have been depressed and anxious for years, have seen several different Doctor's, and he got me back on a routine of meds where I am now stable, able to work without having a panic attack, and I have Dr Hawkins and the entire staff to thank. My search for help is now over. I would tell anyone to go to the Delray Center. They are great!!

Terrible experience there and I would never ever suggest anyone go there. Total scam!!! I needed a renewal of medication I had been on for 10 years. Cost me $400 for the initial visit and he only wrote me a script for one month and then I had to come back and spend another $150 to tell me how I felt on the medication. Then every time I had to call I was on hold for 10 to 20 minutes and then they hang up on you he was snide and rude and I can’t believe how many people in my town have had the same problem with him! His interns that did most all the work were lovely I only saw him for about six minutes and he diagnosed me incorrectly as well

For the past several years I have suffered from PTSD, depression and anxiety. I have seen multiple doctors and experienced a wide array of medications and treatments, all to no avail. About a year ago I was introduced to Dr. Raul Rodriguez and his excellent staff. Under their care I began to feel significant improvement and i am now beginning to feel like my old self. Dr Rodriguez takes a comprehensive approach using the latest medications, treatments and exercise. I cannot thank him and his staff enough for their care and expertise.

I have suffered with on & off depression/anxiety since i was a teen. I've tried about 20 antidepressants with so many side-effects that I couldn't handle taking them. There have been many other remedies I've tried and tried. TMS has been the best thing ever to finally heal my sadness and mood swings. Don't hesitate to finally feel good with Dr. Rodriguez!

Dr. Rodriguez is a very smart doctor, who's willing to meet patients where they're at. I've been to other psychiatrists who have a tendency to talk down to you or it seems like make decisions based on some value system and not what's best for the patient, but not Dr. Rodriguez. Highly recommended

Dr. Rodriguez is very technical, which I like because he thoroughly explains my diagnosis and how the medications and treatment will work exactly. His practice also has therapists, yoga, and a juice bar for while you wait. There's usually a little bit of a wait time, but he's taken extra time to see me during follow ups so its more than understandable.

Amazing place and they saved my life. It all started with my initial call to the Admissions man Mr Simon who was so caring to my needs. I had called several places before and it was all money money money. I did have to pay to get treated but Mr Simon did not ask about money at all. Then came Dr Rodriguez and his amazing, caring staff who all helped me confront my mental health fears and demons and I can honestly say they saved my life. I highly recommend them to anyone!!
