Raúl P. Rodriguez, M.D.
A native of Havana, Cuba, Dr. Rodriguez grew up in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas and received his Bachelor of Science degree from Tulane University in New Orleans. He obtained his Doctor of Medicine degree from the prestigious University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas and completed his residency in General Surgery at Keesler AFB Medical Center, the main research hospital for the Air Force. He fulfilled his military obligation as a Major at Sheppard AFB Regional Hospital, where he acquired additional expert training in laparoscopic and laser surgery from early pioneers in the field.
As a specialist in laparoscopic laser surgery, Dr. Rodriguez introduced several innovative minimally invasive procedures to the Dallas area in 1990. One of the first surgeons in the country at the time to routinely perform laparoscopic surgery, Dr. Rodriguez has been the featured expert in news coverage by CNN International and national and local news stations. He has been a contributing editor of Surgery Alert Newsletter and other medical publications. Working with Ethicon (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson International), he provided laparoscopic surgery training to surgeons in the U.S., the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Dr. Rodriguez is known for the quality of his excellent work as well as the personal care he provides to each patient. Since 1996, Dr. Rodriguez has been specializing in cosmetic laser procedures, and he has helped thousands of patients experience the benefits of the latest surgical laser advances. He has served as consultant and trainer for some of the country’s largest laser companies.
Because of his continuing interest in the most modern innovative non-invasive cosmetic procedures, he added mesotherapy to his list of expert skills in 2002. Dr. Rodriguez and one of his patients were featured by Barbara Walters on ABC News 20/20 in 2003 for his pioneering work in mesotherapy.
Always on the forefront of innovative fat removal technology, in 2007, Dr. Rodriguez became the first doctor in Dallas to offer laser-assisted lipolysis, commonly known as the Smartlipo procedure. In early 2008, he joined forces with Dr. Mounang Desai to become the primary provider of lipo body contouring (advanced aesthetic liposuction). His cosmetic surgery practice is devoted to offering the most advanced and effective fat removal procedures such as Smartlipo, Vaser, and Thermage.
Dr. Rodriguez is fluent in Spanish and French. Dr. Rodriguez and his staff are committed to providing the highest quality medical care and exceptional customer service, so that his patients look and feel better than ever.
