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.
Wonderful doctors and practice!!!! Best bed side manners and care of our little ones.

Dr. Ruiz-Castañeda has been seeing my children since the day they were born. 18 years later, and he is still the best doctor out there. He is very caring and listens to everything you have to say. He takes his time getting to know you, your family, and all that pertains to your child.

My four chidlren have been patients of Dr. Ruiz-Castaneda since birth. By now, he is regarded by my family as a family member. He is patient, takes his time to explain, and listens to every concern I may have. I always bring a listing of questions and we go through them one by one. I truly believe he is the best pediatrician in Miami.

Dr Ruiz Castaneda is amazing. Both my kids (9 and 7) have been with him since birth. Staff is friendly. They always listen to your needs and help accommodate even the most frantic of moms. They have a separate area for infants to they don't get all the other bad things that might be lingering. One of the doctors will always returns after hour/weekend calls. You will always feel like you have his undivided attention.
