It is during his emergency medicine practice that he has developed an interest in alternative approaches to healthcare. Far too often he has seen patients for which there is no explanation of their disease in the western model. Sometimes patients present with a disease process to a western medical practitioner and after a battery of tests and diagnostic studies the physician is no closer to a diagnosis or explanation of symptoms than at the start of the treatment. Western medical physicians will frequently refer these patients to Dr. Rodriguez knowing and trusting that he will customize their care utilizing a variety of therapies to optimize their healing process. As a result Dr. Rodriguez has chosen to approach disease processes from a holistic standpoint incorporating medical therapies that in addition to western care best suit the individual patient.
Dr. Rodriguez is a graduate of the Institute of Classical Five Element Acupuncture in Santa Monica, Ca. and the Helms Institute of Medical Acupuncture at UCLA in 2007. He has treated a variety of illnesses utilizing 5 Element Acupuncture, counseling, life style changes, and life coaching recommendations. Assisted with acupuncture these modalities help the body rid ingrained patterns at a cellular level to unite the physical body and the mind to implement deep long lasting healing for diseases/pattern that linger with other therapies.
