Featured Member Interview with Dr. Debbie Rodriguez

When did you start your business and what motivated you to go into business for yourself?

 

I started my business in 2007. I was motivated by wanting to bring this medicine to everyone in my own way, with no one telling me how to practice or determining how long I could practice.

 

Tell us a little bit about your business?

 

I specialize in helping men and women to fulfill their fertility dreams.

 

Who is your ideal client/customer?

 

Anyone who is on a fertility journey. Whether it is working together with their Reproductive Endocrinologist or helping them to navigate the fertility arena, I am always available to help my patients.

 

What is the one thing that sets your company apart from its competitors?

 

Compassion and heart. I treat everyone from the heart and it is felt by all. I spend time with my patients and listen to what they have to say. I “hear” them and “see” them.

What is the most helpful tip or “hack” you’ve ever learned, stumbled across, or been given?

Something I learned from my mentor. Everyone needs to feel special. When I am with a patient, they are the most important person to me in that moment. My mentor used to make me feel that way and I adored him.
