About
Kenneth Rodriguez, MD, joined the Department of Otolaryngology at University Hospitals in 2013. A native of upstate New York, he obtained a business economics degree at Brown University. Dr. Rodriguez attended medical school at the University of Pittsburgh and did his residency in Otolaryngology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He completed a sinus and skull base fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Dr. Rodriguez is Division Chief of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery at University Hospitals. This specialty includes surgical treatments for a variety of conditions ranging from nose-related breathing difficulties to benign and cancerous lesions. Dr. Rodriguez’s goal is to give patients the most comprehensive care possible. To that end, in many cases, surgical intervention is performed with a partner from neurosurgery, oculoplastic surgery or plastic surgery based on the needs of the patient. Joint procedures allow patients to have two specially trained providers accomplishing different goals during the same surgical intervention and are often practiced through the Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery division at University Hospitals.
Dr. Rodriguez has published a number of articles through peer-reviewed journals on issues related to the nose and sinuses. He also reviews articles for publication for four otolaryngology journals. In addition, he has written multiple book chapters related to medical and surgical management of sinus problems. Dr. Rodriguez is a frequent speaker at local, regional and national meetings.

I have been seeing Dr. Rodriguez for several years, he listens to me and is all around just an excellent provider, very caring, wonderful way of relating.
On my recent visit I received an amazing in-office, nasal/sinus and medical treatment that has Incrediblely improved an oftentimes debilitating, chronic condition and now I feel almost as if reborn!! No more 24-7 chronic inflammation or congestion, etc; and interference when talking and during meals because challenging to do both: breathe and ...at the same time. It began to be embarrassing for me and impacted my life and I opted to sadly request raincheck or cancel invites with my own family members and friends. This, procedure, CareSource Med Health Plan and Dr K. Rodriguez and the UH Otolaryngology staff are certainly appreciated for their efforts to champion the true meaning of good medicine, quality patient care and coupled with doctors and nurses that actually CARE too, always a winner!!!!

Dr. Kenneth Rodriguez is exceptional. I left another specialist and have been a patient of Dr. Rodriguez's for at least sex years. He's performed surgery on me and has provided regular care also. He is approachable and conducts interactive office visits, while providing excellent explanations of everything from medications to different treatments and outcomes. He is an exemplar among his peers and I would recommend him to my friends and family. His nurses, receptionists, and his scribe are also very kind and respectful. The entire experience is a 10 out of 10!
