Dr. George Castro was very professional and very insightful. He invited a collaborative approach by explaining his reasoning as the visit went along, and he was personable to boot. I will very likely make him my pcp.

Had a good visit with the Doctor. He is very kind and listened to everything I had to say. His office is a little strange though...in the basement of an apartment building and not the most modern office. Other than that, no complaints so far.

He was very thorough, listened to everything I had to say and asked a lot of questions. He also explained why he did certain tests, the results and what the results mean.

Dr. Castro was extremely friendly, personable, and professional. I came to see him in regards to frequent and recurring coughing fits and respiratory problems, and we sat down and went over my medical history and past incidents. He prescribed some tests and I'm seeing him again in a few weeks time. Very friendly and courteous office staff as well.

It was refreshing to see how caring and generous this Doctor was with his time. Very thorough, knowledgeable and kind. I have a couple of complaints, although they have nothing to do with the doctor or his staff. First, the building he is in does not have adequate signage or directions to his office. Second, it took some real digging to find their phone number. He has ZERO web presence with accurate information. In this day and age, doc should have a website with clear, concise directions and pertinent information. The guy fills in your info on a laptop during your consult, obviously no stranger to technology. Get a website please!!

He is a very nice doctor, personable, and professional. Despite the uncharacteristically long wait, it was worth the visit. He took the time to explain what what issue was and listens to what the patient has to say without judgment.

The doctor was very caring and patient. He asked a lot of back ground questions to ensure he got the full picture for my grandmothers care.
Great experience with Dr Castro. Would definitely recommend Dr Castro to other potential patients.
