Brian Rodriguez, MD

As a native of Central Vermont, and having practiced primary care in this area for more than a decade, I understand the importance and the trust patients place in their physician, especially in a close-knit community like ours. I also feel that with the changing healthcare landscape, the way that medicine is being delivered has become more complicated and confusing for patients. At the same time, the personal touch and attention to the individual is being lost.

In my practice, I strive to provide more clarity, help eliminate confusion, and have the opportunity to provide more personalized care for my patients while also having more time to communicate and work with other healthcare team members. I value and understand the time it can take to build a more solid relationship with my patients. In the MDVIP model of care, I can take more time to focus on a personalized treatment plan that is unique to the individual and does not feel rushed.
 
Over the course of my medical career, I have dedicated my time to educational, teaching and leadership roles. I use those skills and experiences to shape patient interactions – helping to support deeper communications with patients and discussing what is valuable to one another and that we have a defined plan.
 
I truly love living and practicing medicine in Vermont. I have lived most of my life in Barre and Montpelier, spent countless days in the summer at our family's camp in Woodbury, biking and dining in areas like Hardwick and Stowe, as well as finding excuses to drive around and explore various corners of this beautiful state. I look forward to practicing and caring for patients in our community for many years to come, employing our shared values and appreciations for health and wellness.
