I only need to say that the Dr. Castro is the best doctor ever that my child has. And I'm glad that I find her because she is the best.

She was rude and dismissive.

Dr. Castro did an amazing job with my son. She explained to him the importance of staying hydrated in kids' terms, that he would perform best for his body and athletically. And she explained to him exactly how much he needed to drink in order to stay hydrated. And she was, I would say, Just a great bedside manner and very strong with her communication with him, but in a loving way. So I thought she did an incredible job and I was very pleased. Thank you.

Dr. Castro was extremely thorough, professional, and made us feel very comfortable in a situation that we were not expecting. Highly recommend the doctor.
