Dr. Jennifer Anne Malana Castro, MD

Dr. Castro is the most caring, considerate surgeon I have ever known. She is patient,caring and explains everything in detail. She instilled great confidence in me prior to my surgery and proved me right after surgery. I would like to get to know the lady as well as I know the surgeon. She is a FANTASTIC Doctor.

Such a caring doc. She listens to anything I have to say and always explains things to the best of her ability. She is very down the earth and caring.

This is a review Great South Bay Surgical Associates in general. My doctor there was dr. francfort who is in my insurance plan. I was hospitalized...my mistake I guess. In the hospital Dr. castro was called in to see me. I saw her twice for about 5 minutes each visit. I received a bill for $750. Apparently she does not take my insurance even though Dr. francfort (who is in the same practice does). So now I have a bill that I have to pay $500 for...my deductible. I called and was told it is not their fault that Dr. castro is not in my insurance. Of course it is not the hospital's fault. So I guess it is my fault. While I was in the hospital suffering from a diverticulitus attack I should have screened all of my doctors to be sure they took my insurance. Even those who are in the same practice as my actual surgeon. Western gastro sent doctors to see me and they were all in my insurance.. my review on them is that they care more about their patients than Great South Bay Surgical in West… Islip. Needless to say I told them I will find a new surgeon if I need one.
