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.

Dr. Castro is very polite and approachable. He takes the time to address all questions, concerns and to provide a thorough response.

Great I been seeing him since my 13 year old was born now he’s my new baby’s doctor. He communicates all important info and is very caring for his patients. He doesn’t treat you like a number he treats his patients and parents as real people. Love him so much.

Dr. Castro is great; however the office staff will leave you on hold for 30 minutes at a time. It's worse than calling the IRS. They need more help or a better process. Maybe consider on-line scheduling to cut down wait times.
