I was looking for an improvement, but instead I received perfection... I knew that you were the Plastic Surgeon that I was searching for. I was disappointed by the other surgeons I had interviewed. Responses to my questions to other doctors were elusive and I felt like I was just another patient walking through the revolving door. You were well worth the trip to Maryland. From your office staff to meeting your wife, I knew by choosing you and your team it was the right decision. I want to thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. I greatly appreciate your committment in practicing plastic surgery to the highest level of excellence. It is obvious that you exude a sense of vision of what is possible without compromising attention to detail.Thank you for so much.

"To make enhancing your image one of the best experiences of your life"
Chances are there is something about your appearance you feel could be improved. Over time, this feeling can diminish your self-esteem and self-confidence. Maybe you've been working out, watching your diet, and doing everything you possibly can do to make a difference in your appearance, but it's just not enough. Aesthetic or cosmetic surgery, such as a Brazilian Butt Lift, Breast Augmentation, or Tummy Tuck, while not essential to your health, can make a significant contribution to your emotional well-being by improving and enhancing your overall appearance. The way we see ourselves is critical to how we present ourselves to the world.
Dr. Rodriguez and his staff believe that planning for a cosmetic procedure is a personal and emotional process. Many questions run through people's minds such as how long will the procedure take, where will it be done, when will I be able to resume my normal lifestyle, how much will it cost, and what financial arrangements are available. That is why we set aside a significant amount of time for our consultations. When you visit our office, we will meet with you to assist in filling out necessary paperwork for your general health history. In addition, educational materials for each procedure will be reviewed. Before and after photos of patients who have had the same or similar procedures you are considering are available for you to see, and specific information is prepared for you following your consultation with Dr. Rodriguez.
