Dr. Jonathan Manuel Perez Castro, MD

We came in for a dosage issue we started having after our pregnancy started. At our current dosage, we started experiencing heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, and tension. WITHOUT CONDUCTING ANY EXAMINATION OR REVIEWING ANY BLOODWORK, this guy started claiming expertise in pregnancy-related endocrinology and doubling down on the exact method that makes our symptoms worse. He did not listen to us and his bedside manners were curt, unsympathetic, and left us feeling MORE stressed, unheard, and uncared for. He slapped on a one-size-fits-all rule to a pregnancy with zero blood work or examination to back that up. Unprofessional or inept? Don't know don't care. We're going somewhere else.

I was told that Dr. Castro was intelligent, cooperative to work with, and explained issues. I was stunned to be treated so negatively, to not be heard when I asked questions, and to be told I had a disease other than what I came in for. Three other medical sources agree that I don't have the disease he diagnosed, and when I asked for management direction, I was given no direction beyond changing my life style, when the conversation never included discussion of that life style. I don't know if he was having a bad day, but his presumptions bordered on insulting, and I left the office very upset over what my other doctors say is a misdiagnosis, and being talked down to. I don't feel like I was listened to at all and I am accustomed to working WITH my physician team for my well-being. This was clearly a one-way path, which didn't seem to include any input from me, particularly as I have a complex medical history. I have the sense that my history has scared him . He needed… to review my history with me, at this first visit, rather than simply take my blood pressure, with no diagnostic exam beyond that. Very disappointing, as I thought Had found someone who could help me manage my issues. Not so.

Excellent Doctor! Takes the time to listen and educate Absolutely outstanding!

Dr. Castro is truley unique in his approach to patient care. He takes the time to educate the patient and encourages life changes that help to "cure" metabolic desease. Highly reccomend Dr. Castro. He literally saved my life.

After my consultation with Dr. Castro today, I feel compelled to write a review. Anyone looking for an excellent endocrinologist, look no further. His office staff is friendly & helpful. They had all of my info & lab results in the system for review prior to my visit. Dr. Castro was knowledgeable, took the time to review everything with me & genuinely cared about how i've been feeling & how to correct the problem. He has a great bed-side manner & did not rush me through the appointment. I feel confident with this assessment & with moving forward in his care. Thank you Dr. Castro & staff!

Excellent endocrinologist, Explains thoroughly what blood tests means and why he is prescribing drugs. Excellent bedside manners.

I find Dr. Castro a very warm and caring Doctor. he explains things at my level, so I can understand it. Any questions are ok for him and he takes his time answering everything and explaining. Quite a breath of fresh air in this world of hmo's and managed care.

I found Dr. Castro to be very knowledgable in type 1 diabetes management. I highly recommend him to those seeking a new doctor for better diabetes care.

I feel that Dr. Castro is an amazing doctor, that listens to his patients and spends quality time with them. On my first visit, he spent an hour with me, just review all the previous blood work and had done and he took the time to explain what each part meant. I am very happy to have found him :)

Horrible bed-side manner. Extremely arrogant and one who insults the intelligence. He had erroneous information and was insistent about it being correct. He does not give the patient credit for knowing their own body. Defensive. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. This physician belongs in the laboratory away from patients. To justify his fee, he keeps the patient longer in the examination room unnecessarily. He does not give the patient credit for having a modicum of common sense or the ability to know that something is amiss in their system. This is a doctor who arrogantly believes he absolutely knows everything and the patient knows nothing.
