How likely are you to recommend Dr. Castillo Jr?
If I could give Dr Castillo more than 5 stars, I would. I’ve only been seeing him for a couple years, but I knew at my first visit he would be a great fit for me. And I must say I was apprehensive about seeing a new rheumatologist after 25 years with my last one. He’s very caring, concerned, compassionate and VERY knowledgeable about RA and associated diseases. He takes all the time necessary to evaluate, and explain in layman’s terms what’s going on, and what’s needed to best help. He’s very open minded to listen to what you have to say and has a way of making it seem that you’re his only patient and I’ve never ever been made to feel that he was rushing. Also, everyone in the office is really courteous and pleasant as well. I drive 3 hours each way to see him….that’s how awesome he is.
