MIchael Castro. Md's Online Review Report Card

This Dr is a joke. My primary dr sent me to see him.He comes in and I start to explain my problem to him and he says well why don’t you take a picture and send it to me when the problem occurs or come in. He then wants to give me a prescription without even telling me what it was for and what it would do. I simply got up to and told him to keep his prescription and walked out.

Great doctor, very friendly. Prescribed me the medications I needed. Would highly recommend. Staff operate in a strenuous environment and do a great job.

The personal are uncaring and only want your money. The appointments are made 6 months in advance and if you miss they want $25.00 for missing. When I called them they don't answer. You have to leave a message for them to call back at THEIR convenience. They don't care about your time. I called and they didn't answer so what are we supposed to do if we need an answer. If they don't answer when it's convenient for me to call why should I answer when it's not convenient for me?

My son had been seeing the doctor for going two years now with two surgeries of the same problem. He finally gave up because the problem came back again. He was referred to a surgeon, meanwhile the approval came for my son to see a BREAST SURGEON! How incompetent these people are. Never again we will see this doctor!

My son had two surgeries and its been almost two years that he couldn't fix what was wrong with my son. Finally he gave up and referred him to a skin surgeon. Approval came just yesterday and he was authorized to see a BREAST SURGEON!

At last I’m taking a little time to share my wonderful experience with Dr. Michael Castro. From my first visit with him over 3 years ago to have a small cyst removed from the hairline above my left eyebrow through the last few years and as recent as a month ago, I've always rcvd great care from him. Dr. Castro has always been patient when I asked him sooo many questions about the reasons for my visit. His answers are easy to understand. Bottom line, he has always been impeccable helpful. Using a food analogy, because of her genuine helpfulness also, his assistant, Sonya, is like *frosting on a great cake* because her service is perfect! e.g. she takes all the time necessary to answer my phone-based questions. Because of my own experience w/ Dr. Castro, I’m shocked to see the ‘#1’ reviews here on Yelp. If you need to see a dermatologist and want excellent service, I wholeheartedly recommend you choose Dr. Castro because, from my experience, I know you’ll be glad you did!

Came in for my first appointment and in all honesty im disappointed. He didn’t ask any questions about my diet or my daily routine. Just looked at my skin and gave me my meds. I wasted more time in the waiting room then I did with him. Made me feel like he just didn’t really care.

Long waits and slow dr. They don't have a clue on how to bill.

This review is for Michael Castro. I've been to visit him 3 times now. The first time was for what he diagnosed as eczema. It was a very short wait to be shown to the examination room, as well as a short wait before he knocked on the door and walked in. He came in and asked what I was there for, I pointed at a place on my arm and he just went, oh - that's eczema, I'll prescribe you a foam for that. I thought he was a little hasty with his diagnosis, but I went home and used the cream and it cleared right up. A few years later I went back for the same thing and he said, aren't you using the foam I prescribed you, and I said yes, but I need some more. My most recent visit I arrived 10 minutes early. It had been a few years since the eczema issues. I sat down and within a few minutes I was shown to an exam room. Within minutes Michael came in, and his first question was how is the rash doing. Clearly he had read my file before coming in. I showed him a few warts I had and he had come in carrying the freeze can needed to treat warts. I said, wow - you already have the tools, and he said yup, I do a lot of freezing. After that I had him do a full check of my body for any irregularities and then I was on my way home. As I was walking to my car I looked at my watch and it was 12 minutes past my appointment time. WOW, most of the time with other doctors I would still be sitting in the waiting room 12 minutes past my appointment time. Thank you Michael, you are doing a great job and you seem to be direct and to the point about your diagnosis and treatments.
