October 2, 2012Stacey G.Verified patient
Dr. Castro gave me a diagnosis that was different from podiatrists I had been to in the last 6 years. His diagnosis gave me options other that might be able to correct my issues without going through painful surgery with an extremely long recovery time. Dr. Castro carefully explained the issue and what was necessary on my part in a professional manner without making me feel that I should have come to him earlier with my problem. Additionally, he explained that if that if I did surgery after following his instructions that the surgery was quick without requiring a long recovery time.
