Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

They asked to rate him with a star and I would not highlight any but they make you. Misdiagnosed a family member and caused harm to this person/his patient. Stay far away from this doctor he should be retired. Do not let him do anything to you except refer you to a specialist. Scary doctor.

I have been a physician for 20 years. During that time, I have never "withdrawn care" from a patient simply because they questioned my care plan. I had one visit with Dr. Castellanos as a new patient. He ordered a battery of tests that were unnecessary, wasteful, and even incorrect. For example, you will not get accurate information from a serum hormone level in a female who is ACTIVELY taking birth control nor do you order a urine culture unless the urinalysis shows any suspicion of infection. Additionally, instead of an EKG, he wanted to perform an unorthodox doppler procedure for which he had a patent - that's not covered by insurance. Also, he wanted to perform (and bill for) and endometrial biopsy, when the OB/Gyn I saw 3 days told me that was a ridiculous waste of healthcare dollars and not the standard of care - based on my symptoms. Because I did not get the unnecessary tests, he sent me a letter termination of care letter - without calling to discuss! Unbelievable!

When you become a patient of Dr. Castellanos, you will be surprised by all of the medical fields he has been trained in. He even has a patent on a device that measures the efficiency in the arteries in your feet and legs. You don't have to wait long to receive an appointment and the wait in the lobby is minimal before you see him. He is very thorough and takes copious notes to keep you informed of your progress. If a medical problem is beyond his area of expertise, he will recommend top medical practitioners in their fields.

I went to visit this doctor for the first time, I was received right on my scheduled appointment time, the people were very nice to me, and the doctor is very proactive looking at a better way to live healthy, which i appreciated very much.
