Elise J Rodriguez, APRN, AGACNP-BC, EMHA

“ Smart, caring, welcomes questions, is thought-full about answers - not just quick to dismiss but considers the specific case in point. A liver transplant journey continues past hospital discharge and Elise really helps patients, in my experience, handle the ongoing transition back to full life with the new liver, lifetime anti-rejection, immunocompromised reality, etc. I feel I could ask her anything and she would be upfront with the answer. And I do ask a lot of questions :) ”

“ She is fantastic. Elise is attentive, caring, listens, explains things clearly and the list goes on. I feel very well taken care of by her and James, my liver transplant coordinator. I just love her and James and I am going to miss seeing them as I’m transitioning to Dr. [last name]. I will still be in communication with James though. ”

“ Elise explains new-to-us information in a way that makes sense and she welcomes all questions which means I ask all my questions because I am comfortable doing so. I get the answers I need to reduce my stress, my wife's stress and it also makes me accountable for my own health care. Her passion for her patients is present in every interaction. From experience and knowledge, she connects the dots so quickly and decisively determines next steps. Every time we leave an appointment, we say "Wow, that was the best visit yet!" So July 15 was our best visit yet! ”

“ She is a pleasant woman. And listens and advices me well on my health journey. ”

“ Elise enters room with smile and gets to work which I appreciate. She answers my questions fully in terminology that makes sense. She has a sense of humor which again I appreciate. A liver transplant leads to what can be a scary recovery process; Elise’s presence signals that she and the entire transplant team is monitoring everything and we are on track. ”

“ Elise is friendly, thorough, explaining how things work and why changes are being made and she's a great listener. ”

“ Professional and very knowledgeable. All the APRN’s that I have seen are amazing. ”

“ Entire staff of as amazing ”

“ She is great! She listens, answers all my questions, takes excellent care of me and is very caring. ”

“ The whole team all the way from hospital to liver transplant center ”
