Dr. Luis Castro's impeddable credentials & reputation well precede him, of course. Yet with all his incredible accomplishments to his credit, he remains extremely self-effacing and projects nothing but total dedication to his work, his patients, and their successful healing. His quiet confidence is reassuring and itself inspires great confidence in the patient. His quickness to accommodate patient needs is extraordinary. He is one exceptional & outstandding care provider in a superior league all his own. An amazing man, truly.
