He brings a background in caring for patients of all ages to these positions.
Originally from Cuba, Gonzalez Rodriguez received his medical degree from the University of Medical Sciences of Havana, where he graduated summa cum laude. He and his family fled the country, moved to Miami and eventually found a home in Mobile.
“I came to Mobile to interview for residency,” he said, “and not only loved USA but also the city itself as it reminded me and my family of our hometown.”
After relocating to Mobile, Gonzalez Rodriguez completed an internal medicine/pediatrics residency at USA Health.
“Throughout med school and residency training, I’ve looked up to some wonderful attendings who helped me get here,” he said. “Staying at South and serving this community while contributing to forming the next generation of healthcare professionals is a great opportunity that I’m looking forward to.”
During his residency, Gonzalez Rodriguez served as chief resident and was recognized for Outstanding Performance in the Pediatric Outpatient Setting in 2021 and for the Most Growth in the Pediatric Continuity Clinic in 2020. He held positions on the Internal Medicine Residency Council and the Internal Medicine Program Evaluation Committee for three years.
