I have not had the chance to see this doctor, because even though she is listed as a primary as well as endo. the very rude receptionist states that a referral is the ONLY way to see the doctor.

I was lucky to be recommended to Dr. Judith Castillo. First of all, she is totally compassionate, very intelligent and spends time explaining everything. She got me back on track with my diabetes by eliminating some medications and adding others. My HgBA1C went from 9.4 to under 7 in less than a year! She's amazing!

Dr. Castillo is my parents' doctor and I am always amazed about the way she takes care of them. She is very professional, competent, thoughtful, thorough, and very sweet to them. She takes time to explain diagnosis to them and takes the time to address their questions, even after they have already asked the same questions. She is great!

Dr C has always taken the extra step to ensure her patients are ALL/SET/OK. She called me to explain my test results on her day off :) xoxo

Great doctor, but you WILL have to book appointments (even follow ups) months in advance. Additionally, the answering service will answer calls more often than not so it's difficult getting in touch with someone in the actual office.
