Meet Our Staff
Marisol Rodriguez
Marisol “Mari” Rodriguez has worked in our office for over 5 years. She is the lead scheduler for hernia patients. Mari will meet every patient who needs to have hernia surgery before you leave our office at the time of your consultation.
She will immediately check your insurance benefits so that you understand what costs you may be repsonsible for. For patients without insurance, she will work with you on arranging cash or credit card payments. Once your insurance or payments are arranged, Mari will find which times for your surgery you would prefer and coordinate with our surgical center. She will arrange any bloodwork or EKG that may be needed.
