Hello everyone. I would like to start off my review by saying first and foremost I don't believe I…read morewould be alive today if it wasn't for the help of Dr. Rodriguez and his staff. About eight months ago I found myself in the deepest darkest depression that I have ever known. I have suffered from depression for most of my life, but this is the first time I have ever had thoughts of suicide. Dr. Rodriguez saw me twice a week for six weeks and customize a program for me which worked miracles. The program at "the center", deals with many conditions from addiction to eating disorders. My specific issue is anxiety and depression. I won't going to details about my treatment but all I can say is that I really felt that I was being listened to and treated as an individual. During my time in the partial hospitalization phase of my program, the staff took care of making sure I had access traditional treatments such as therapy (Group), and even things like aerial yoga. I am a healthcare professional and I have worked in the field of mental health. This is the only place that I have ever seen where the patient is treated like an individual, and not a cookie-cutter approach. To sum it up, the staff was courteous and caring, the facility was clean and adequate, lunch was provided as well as snacks. My primary therapist is wonderful, her name is Abby. I have met the other therapist and they are, I'm sure just as great. I am doing so much better now, I am back to work and having a much easier time interacting in social situations.if you are looking for a place that will help you in your dark time I would highly recommend the Delray Center for healing.

Complaint Regarding Dr. Raul Rodriguez, M.D. I am submitting…read morethis complaint regarding my interaction with Dr. Raul Rodriguez during my evaluation for treatment with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and IV ketamine therapy. Before committing to treatment, I wanted to confirm that my insurance would cover these services through the required pre-certification process. I believed this was a reasonable and responsible step before scheduling what would be a significant course of treatment. At the time of my second appointment with Dr. Rodriguez, I had not yet received the insurance determination. The pre-certification approval was received the following day. During that appointment, Dr. Rodriguez became visibly upset because I had not yet committed to scheduling treatment. He characterized me as being "difficult" simply because I was waiting for confirmation of insurance coverage. During the conversation, he also stated that if I thought he was "an asshole," I could leave. I had made no such accusation, nor had I said anything that would reasonably provoke such a statement. I was completely taken aback by his language, demeanor, and the confrontational nature of the encounter. As a retired physician with approximately 30 years of clinical practice, I understand the standards of professionalism, respect, and dignity that patients deserve. In my opinion, Dr. Rodriguez's behavior fell well below those standards. Rather than engaging in a respectful discussion, he responded with hostility and attempted to pressure me into immediately committing to treatment despite the unresolved insurance issue. Patients undergoing treatment for depression are often emotionally vulnerable and deserve compassion, patience, and professionalism. Instead, I experienced an interaction that was unnecessarily adversarial and intimidating. The treatment protocol required follow-up appointments with Dr. Rodriguez every two weeks throughout the course of treatment. After reflecting on our interaction, I realized I would carry considerable resentment and distrust toward him during the treatment process. I believed that this negative therapeutic relationship would undermine the effectiveness of treatment and interfere with my ability to participate openly and confidently in my care. For that reason, I canceled my follow-up appointment two days later and chose not to proceed with treatment under Dr. Rodriguez's care. I found Dr. Rodriguez's conduct to be highly unprofessional, inappropriate, and inconsistent with the standards I would expect from a physician entrusted with the care of patients suffering from depression and other mental health conditions.
