    Dr. Castro was very friendly and professional during my visit. Although, my visit was not due to his specialty, Dr. Castro did not hesitate to treat me as if I was a regular patient of his. I definitely would choose Dr. Castro as my physician if I would need his advice that pertained to his medical specialty.
    Excellent doctor.Note, time of my appointment noted in your survey has 12:00am, that's midnight. Appointment time was 10am.
    My doctor is very knowledgeable about his field of medicine.
    No bad experience with the doctors or the practice. Just wish I didn't have RA.
