Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Castano was my gynecologist in NY. I would prefer to move to NC than find another doctor in NY. I started seeing her in my 20’s and until she moved to NC, I'm 52. Dr. Castano was the most caring, compassionate and professional doctor I have ever been treated by. She sat by my side waiting to go in for a DNC for the the first of several miscarriages. My first fertility specialist couldn't be bother following up to check on me, but Dr Castano did call me. I had several significant issues I experienced over the course of being her patient. I wish she was still in NY and truthfully was saddened that she would no longer be my doctor. I hope her new life and practice in NC bring her professional satisfaction and personal happiness!

I am extremely comfortable and have complete confidence in Dr. Lourdes Castano. She makes me feel very comfortable and at ease during the examination. I like the fact we talk a few minutes after it is over and go over my chart and visit together. She answers my questions and makes me feel very confident all is well.
