About Jose Rodriguez-Torres, MD

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Dr. Rodriguez completed his bachelor's degree in science at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus, and a medical degree from San Juan Bautista School of Medicine in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dr. Rodriguez came to Georgia in 1981 to do a residency in pediatrics at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Since 1981, he has been practicing in Cobb County.

For six years, Dr. Rodriguez served as a district #2 representative (Cobb and Douglas counties) to the Georgia Chapter American Academy of Pediatrics. He is former chairman of pediatrics at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital and former chairman of the Wellstar Kennestone Regional Hospital Board. Appointed by the Speaker of the House in 2006, he continues to serve as a member of the advisory board in the Georgia Office of Child Advocate. Also at the state level, Dr. Rodriguez is on the Board of the Pediatric Healthcare Improvement Coalition (501(c)(4) non-profit corporation) representing Atlanta area pediatricians since inception in 2010.

Dr. Rodriguez took a lot of time with us to talk about not only emotions, I was worried about depression or anxiety even though it was just a yearly checkup and helped us understand a lot. He took a lot of time with us which he didn't have to do so I highly recommend him and I hate that he's leaving the practice retiring soon. It'll be a great loss.
