Reviews

What patients have said about Dr. Rodriguez over the years, in their own words — collected from Google reviews at the practices where he has worked.

Published as written, with only obvious typos corrected. Each review shows where and when it was left on Google.

My fiancé arrived at the office anxiety ridden and scared due to a horrid experience with a former dentist. Dr Rodriguez and Jennel were so patient with her and treated her with a level of compassion I have never seen from any dentist.

I've been a patient for over 20 years. Dr Rodriguez is the best. He's compassionate, honest, fair. His bedside manner is so comforting. He's very focussed on his patient and their needs.

Great experience. Best dentist I've ever been to. The team was extremely personable, attentive, and professional. Would recommend Dr. Rodriguez to anyone.

Dr Rodriguez at Puyallup Avenue Dental Care was really great at making me comfortable. He did everything to remove my anxiety and explained everything he was doing. I'm pleased with my dental care and work done on my teeth. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this clinic.

Dr Rodriguez always treats my 93 year old Mom with tender loving care! As does everyone at Avenue Dental — I appreciate them all!

Incredibly friendly staff and Dr. Rodriguez was absolutely wonderful. I have a lot of anxiety dealing with dentists and he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend.

Most pleasant dental experience I've ever had. I've had some terrible times with dentists in the past (not being numb enough, etc.), but this was awesome start to finish. Dr. Rodriguez and assistant Jennifer were great. No pain, and extraction and placement of graft material was completed in slightly more than an hour.

Dr. Rodriguez is the best!! He is very thorough, careful to be gentle, and his chair-side manners are wonderful! I love this dentist!

Dr Rodriguez was amazing, I barely felt any of the shots and I was in and out very quickly.

Valerie Allison

Google review · Puyallup, WA · 2022–2023

Getting some much-needed dental work done after a few years away from the dentist due to COVID. I got Dr. Rodriguez and have been very pleased with his work! Very compassionate and professional, and the staff is wonderful here.

All-on-X · Full-arch restoration

A fixed arch, fitted in a day.

Four to six implants carry one bridge. It does not come out, it does not click, and in suitable cases you leave the same day with teeth you can smile with.

Solid, the four. Faint, the extra two of an All-on-6.

Four implants suit most arches. Six spread the load where bone allows and the bite is heavy. Your scan decides which — not a package.

Stage 01

Consultation & CBCT

A three-dimensional scan shows exactly how much bone you have and where it is solid. It is the difference between a plan and a guess, and it is why we will not quote a full arch over the phone.

Bring your scan, or let us take one. A consultation will tell you honestly whether this is your operation — and what it would involve if it is.

Perla After Hours

A dentist, when the office is closed.

Some dental problems will not wait until Monday. Perla After Hours is urgent care with Dr. Rodriguez on Friday evenings and weekends — either in the office, or as a live video visit. By appointment only.

Call or text

(305) 845-1830

Please use this number only — it is the one we watch during After Hours.

After Hours times

  • Friday5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
  • Saturday8:00 AM – 10:00 PM
  • Sunday8:00 AM – 10:00 PM

This is separate from our regular hours (Monday–Friday 8 AM–6 PM, Saturday 8 AM–2 PM). Routine and scheduled care happens during regular hours.

Call 911 instead if:

  • You are having trouble breathing or swallowing
  • Facial swelling is spreading quickly
  • Bleeding will not stop
  • The injury involves more than your teeth

Go to the nearest emergency department. Some dental emergencies belong in a hospital, and we will tell you plainly if yours is one of them.

An appointment with Dr. Rodriguez outside regular office hours, for a problem that cannot wait. Appointment only — we cannot take walk-ins.

How it works

  1. Call or text us

    We answer as fast as we can, usually within the hour. Reach us outside the times above and we will reply on the next business day, or during the next After Hours period. Response times are a goal, not a guarantee.

  2. We offer you a time

    Getting in touch does not create an appointment by itself — we have to accept the request and give you a slot.

  3. You pay the fee, and the visit is booked

    Your appointment is confirmed only once all three have happened: we accepted your request, we gave you a time, and we received the $295. We do not keep your card afterward.

The $295 covers

  • A limited emergency examination with Dr. Rodriguez
  • Any X-rays needed to find the problem
  • A dental assistant present for your appointment

Charged separately

  • Treatment, at our normal fees — there is no after-hours markup on the treatment itself
  • You hear the treatment and the price before anything is done, and you are never charged for treatment you decline

Good to know

Follow-up is not charged twice
Routine follow-up connected to your emergency treatment is booked during normal office hours, with no second $295. Treatment at that visit is charged at normal fees. A second After Hours visit does carry the fee again.
No prescriptions from a phone call
We do not routinely prescribe antibiotics or pain medication based on a call alone. An examination may be needed first.
Every age is welcome
A parent or legal guardian must come with a patient under 18 and authorize care.
If we cannot treat you safely here
Dr. Rodriguez may make you comfortable and refer you to a specialist, hospital, or another dentist when that is genuinely the better place for your care.
Self-pay
The $295 is not billed to insurance, and we cannot promise any plan will reimburse it. Treatment follows our normal payment policies.
Refunds
If we cannot provide the visit we accepted and scheduled, the $295 is refunded. If you do not come, it generally is not. Once the evaluation has been done the fee is earned — including if you decide against the treatment we recommend.

This is a plain-language summary. The full terms are in the agreement you will be asked to read and sign before your visit.

Founder & Lead Cosmetic Dentist

The Studio

One doctor. One patient. One room.

Dr. Rodolfo Rodriguez was born in Havana, Cuba, and later moved to the United States to pursue his education and career in dentistry. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, where he developed a strong foundation in comprehensive dental care. After graduating, he moved to Seattle and practiced there for several years while his wife completed her OB/GYN residency.

Now back in Miami, Dr. Rodriguez is excited to serve the community he considers home. He is known for his clear communication, professionalism, and commitment to patient comfort. His clinical interests include restorative dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and Invisalign.

Outside of the office, Dr. Rodriguez enjoys spending time outdoors—especially hiking and relaxing with a picnic in the grass. He also loves traveling, discovering new music, and exploring Miami’s food scene. He is fluent in both English and Spanish and values building strong, long-lasting relationships with his patients.
