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.

Outstanding Doctor
Dr. Rodrigue has been my doctor for twenty years. He is compassionate understanding and asks a lot of good questions. He doesn't just throw pain meds at you. His procedures have helped me live my live with disc issues that I couldn't without him. I would not see another Dr. Of his type and trust him to the fullest!

Compassionate and Cutting Edge
Rodrigue has been my doc since 2012, and I won't go anywhere else. He employs both medication and techniques and procedures to provide the best quality of life for chronic pain patients. He listens attentively and has true compassion, as he shared his own childhood experiences with his own mother who suffered. He is meticulous about monthly urinalysis testing to make sure patients are both taking the medications consistently and that they metabolize safely. I've used him for nearly 13 years, and I'll be with him until the day he retires, which we jokingly say he'll need to 'clear with me' lol. Making an appt is a bit difficult due to the small staff he keeps, but they do a great job. They get me in pretty quickly, but I'm an established patient. Keep up the great work, Doc, Christian, and Reba!

Dr Rodrigue
Dr Rodrigue is an outstanding pain management doctor. I have had a serious foot issue with severed nerves. Dr Rodrigue is the only pain management doctor I could find in the entire DFW metroplex that got to the heart of the matter and addressed the issue. I am forever grateful to Dr Rodrigue.

AWFUL
I'm sorry. But my experience with him made no sense. He spent a total of 4-5 mins with me. First words out of his mouth were why was my old pain doc so conservative with meds? Yet I had just showed him the 5 different medications I was on 2 of which were narcotics! Then he talked about how great of a doc he was then left to look at my records from my old doc which I thought he would of done before I came. Then sent his assistant in who told me to get some X rays. I thought it was odd with 10 years of pain management doc history but figured my MRI from previous doc was a little old. So I went the very next day for X rays and I never heard from him again. I guess he just doesn't wanna treat me and that's a shame but he could of at least told me himself.

One of the top pain doctors in Dallas!
Dr. Rodrigue is a very thorough and intelligent pain Doctor in Dallas! He helped me cure chronic back pain without surgery or excessive medication. After working with him he debunked many myths about causes of back pain, risks of certain treatments, and supposed 'miracle' cures. His approach was thorough and rational while taking the time to listen in depth to my symptoms and offering a comprehensive approach that has been life changing! I would highly recommend Dr. Rodrigue for any type of pain you may be experiencing. He is not quick to recommend surgery or anything you don't need and has a mindful approach that is focused on your desired outcome! Thank you Dr. Rodrigue!!!

Dr. Rodrigue is such a caring and compassionate dr. You know and he has proven he will look high and low for the right solution. I have seen other drs that couldn’t care less. He is knowledgeable, kind and a great listener. Occasionally it might take a bit of time waiting, but I know it is because he is giving each patient his undivided attention. He makes you know you and your treatment are the most important.

I saw Dr. Rodrique for a long time. He was a compassionate doctor for many years. But as time went by he seemed to change. I know being a doctor is not an easy profession. But one day I went in to an appointment and he said he could no longer see me. He gave me no reason. He seemed pretty cold. I don’t know what happened to sweet and understanding Dr. Rodrique.

Dr. Rodrique spent about 3 minutes with me; he prescribed hydrocodone and told me to come back after a month to give him time to gather my medical records. Still in terrible pain, I went back after a month; no medical records and again he came in 3 minutes, left then sent his medical assistant in to say that the treatment I needed required insurance approval which could take an undetermined amount of time to get. I told the assistant that I was in severe pain; he could care less so I told him that I should find another doctor at which time, the assistant curtly showed me the exit door. I left in pain.

he said he would continue my current regiment from my previous doctor. They called in prescriptions to the wrong pharmacy TWICE, then suddenly stated they do not do prior authorization or prescription override requests from insurance. They told me to just discontinue the current script for something lesser in dose- worst withdrawal ever! My primary doctor did request the override and I was able to get my medications that same day. Dr. Rodrigue blew it off saying they just no longer request overr

I have never been so poorly treated and disrespected by a doctor. He does not like patients asking questions and was very dismissive of me and my concerns. He told me I was "a weird lady...and good luck because you're going to need it". So highly unprofessional and rude. Have NEVER had any issues getting along with physicians or their staff. But you will certainly be able to get your drugs from him if all you want is temporary pain relief. I preferred long term solutions.

Be very careful to watch your bills and EOBs from insurance. Dr Rodrigue may be in network for you, but he has a habit of sending labs to out of network labratories that will hit you with huge bills.

I still suffer with back pain and will probably deal with it for the rest of my life. But thanks to Dr. Rodrigue's help I can safely and effectively manage my pain. Thank you Dr. Rodrigue......LB

Dr. Rodrique is a professional, cautious, caring physician who spends as much time as it takes to find solutions for my problems. He is one of only a few physicians left in the area who includes medication management in his practice, and I thank God for his willingness to do that. Dr. Rodrigues has given me an essentially pain-free life and that is something i thought I would never see again. I am a better mother, a better wife... I am a better person thanks to Dr. Rodrigue.
