After my first visit with Dr. Castro,I was so favorably impressed with him that I rated him on Google.I have been brainwashed to tell my physicians what is currently wrong with me, and I make written notes to take with me to my appointment (preventive medicine).Dr.Castro was professional and friendly during this appointment.Both of us were pleased that his prescribed urolic was working, and I was now gout free.I started to go over my list.He answered a few questions, and then suddenly said."I am a rhuemotogist.I don't cover those other areas.I will see you in 6 months" I had planned on discussing my spinal stenosis, scoliosis,my neuropathy in my legs and feet, my osteoarthritis, and pain related to all of them.I thought that's what a rheumatologist also treats.I was wrong.As a result,I don't plan on returning to Dr. Castro.I still think he is an excellent physician: however, no longer for me.
