  • I have seen Dr Castro for 16 years. He is the best doctor I have ever had for my problems. He keeps my health in balance.
    Dr. Castro, is a great caring doctor and I would not let anyone else treat my condition.
    The appointment was exactly what it was supposed to be. Review my health care regarding my gout, and I was out of the office in 30-40 minutes.
    The back nurse and doctor at the Castro practice was patient to answer all my many questions and I had a pleasant experience visiting.
    He's the best.
