Dr. Rodriguez was an early adopter of minimally invasive biopsy techniques, including office-based ultrasound-guided core biopsies. He also participated in the first image-guided breast biopsy course by the American College of Surgeons. He was among the first to do sentinel lymph node biopsies after receiving training at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.
