Worst decision of my life. They will take your money, and your mental health. They treat you like a bank, and will do whatever it takes to cover it up if you say it is your responsibility to report them to the health department to save other veterans... seek help elsewhere, I promise you!

Don't put yourself or your loved ones in contact with him in your lowest moments. Now that I've healed fully (*without* his help), that visit/consultation with him was one of my worst memories of my depression. He speaks disrespectfully of women, is arrogant (says that his program is the only way to heal, and uses scare tactics to pressure you to commit), and then proposes absurd prices. He seems to be all about the money. Avoid even doing an initial consultation... this place is scary. I don't typically leave reviews, but I felt it was important for me to come on and share, to try to protect others from the very poor experience I had with this man, during my lowest of moments. Please don't let this place scam you out of money.

Do *not* expect ANY psychiatric analysis from this doctor. Just like almost ALL psychiatrists, they charge a lot and only want to write a prescription. I made clear our expectations and was told I "came to the right place" In fact, they seem to be way more interested in their lucrative Rehab business than actually helping people with psychological issues, this lead doctor spent less than 15 minutes with my child.
Definitely look elsewhere.

I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and his staff for their professionalism and commitment to the mental , emotional and physical health of their clients. I showed up with major chronic depression after quitting a pot-smoking addiction of 30 plus years. . Dr. Rodriguez spent a lot of time asking me questions and answering all of mine. Informed by 20 years of experience, he earned my trust by adding on to original medication prescribed by my primary until the correct formula and dosage was found. The integrated approach to healing @ Delray Center afforded me many services and tools from talk therapy, to yoga, to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which worked extremely well in my case. The business was extremely well-organized and scheduling was easy. Most importantly, they took my health insurance, which paid for practically everything. Thank you for helping me rediscover balance and joy in my life.

I had an amazing visit with a Dr. Hawkins. What a place they have there. I have been depressed and anxious for years, have seen several different Doctor's, and he got me back on a routine of meds where I am now stable, able to work without having a panic attack, and I have Dr Hawkins and the entire staff to thank. My search for help is now over. I would tell anyone to go to the Delray Center. They are great!!

Terrible experience there and I would never ever suggest anyone go there. Total scam!!! I needed a renewal of medication I had been on for 10 years. Cost me $400 for the initial visit and he only wrote me a script for one month and then I had to come back and spend another $150 to tell me how I felt on the medication. Then every time I had to call I was on hold for 10 to 20 minutes and then they hang up on you he was snide and rude and I can’t believe how many people in my town have had the same problem with him! His interns that did most all the work were lovely I only saw him for about six minutes and he diagnosed me incorrectly as well

For the past several years I have suffered from PTSD, depression and anxiety. I have seen multiple doctors and experienced a wide array of medications and treatments, all to no avail. About a year ago I was introduced to Dr. Raul Rodriguez and his excellent staff. Under their care I began to feel significant improvement and i am now beginning to feel like my old self. Dr Rodriguez takes a comprehensive approach using the latest medications, treatments and exercise. I cannot thank him and his staff enough for their care and expertise.

I have suffered with on & off depression/anxiety since i was a teen. I've tried about 20 antidepressants with so many side-effects that I couldn't handle taking them. There have been many other remedies I've tried and tried. TMS has been the best thing ever to finally heal my sadness and mood swings. Don't hesitate to finally feel good with Dr. Rodriguez!

He is an excellent psychiatrist to go to. I recommend to fly to Florida for this one, because be takes superior precautions on his patients and does well for his staff. DEFINITELY THE BEST PSYCHIATRIST OF ALL OF FLORIDA AND ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE USA!!!!

Dr. Rodriguez is a very smart doctor, who's willing to meet patients where they're at. I've been to other psychiatrists who have a tendency to talk down to you or it seems like make decisions based on some value system and not what's best for the patient, but not Dr. Rodriguez. Highly recommended

Dr. Rodriguez was my psychiatrist in 2005. He was attentive, open minded, and showed a real passion for what he does. I reconnected with him this year and was amazed how he has expanded his practice and has been so generous to the recovering community. I see a beautiful, empathetic, and smart young NP for medications and attend his Medicare and Smart Recovery Groups. I am so happy that I have reconnected with his practice.

Dr. Rodriguez is very technical, which I like because he thoroughly explains my diagnosis and how the medications and treatment will work exactly. His practice also has therapists, yoga, and a juice bar for while you wait. There's usually a little bit of a wait time, but he's taken extra time to see me during follow ups so its more than understandable.

Amazing place and they saved my life. It all started with my initial call to the Admissions man Mr Simon who was so caring to my needs. I had called several places before and it was all money money money. I did have to pay to get treated but Mr Simon did not ask about money at all. Then came Dr Rodriguez and his amazing, caring staff who all helped me confront my mental health fears and demons and I can honestly say they saved my life. I highly recommend them to anyone!!

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Rodriguez and everyone at the Delray Center. What you have done and continue to do has changed my life. Your care, concern and compassion have been key to helping me overcome so many things.
I highly recommend the Delray Center. Dr. Rodriguez has created a place that is truly focused on healing. There are so many types of treatment options and they are focused on finding the one that is right for you.
There are no words to express how wonderful Dr. Rodriguez is. He has been absolutely amazing with my treatment, keeping up with everyone one on my care team, constantly monitoring my treatment for progress and for any changing needs. He truly cares about your health and wants you to be successful in your treatment. Everyone here has been a pleasure to work with from the admissions coordinator, to those at TMS and ketamine, and everyone in the office.

He may be a good Dr but his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. His attitude was overly arrogant, not just on one occassion. You don't tell your patient that they need to be "less frustrated" with your office when there have been multiple issues and that "things in life don't always go smoothly"... This office as a whole needs to be more clear & upfront with their patients as to expectations from both sides and what will go on during their treatment; to come in & get new info each visit is simply not acceptable! Almost walked out for the second time for good! I'm less than impressed.

Prepaid for appointment and didn't even look at my file. Sat down with him for 15 minutes and began to tell me he quoted me wrong price and tried to shake me down for another $1300.

I cannot recommend Dr. Rodriguez enough... we saw another psychiatrist in Boca Raton prior to seeing Dr Rodriguez. That DR had my daughter on the wrong medications which caused her to have a psychotic break. Dr Rod had her stable in 3 days. If i could help just one person get to DR Rod and get the right help I feel i have done something. I don't know where my daughter would be today without him. THANK YOU DR. RODRIGUEZ - your compassion, your empathy and your office staff are beyond exceptional.
