About Dr. Gerardo Rodríguez
General surgeon with focus on gastrointestinal and laparoscopic
I'm Dr. Gerardo Rodríguez Navarro, a surgeon with more than 17 years of experience caring for patients in Guadalajara. My practice focuses on general, gastrointestinal and minimally invasive surgery: gallbladder, hernias, appendicitis, reflux, colon, thyroid and skin tumors, plus bariatric surgery for well-indicated cases.
I believe in close, honest care: explaining what you have, what options exist and why surgery is — or isn't — the best decision for your case. I accompany each patient before, during and after the procedure.
