He has been my doctor for a very long time and is one the best. He cares very much about his patients and tries his best to make sure they’re all doing well, even with their school work and activities.

From receptionists to the fake nurse, they all have this attitude as if waiting on you is a bother. Wake up ladies, you are getting paid. Because we have our children in Dr. Pedro Castaneda's office you have a job. Get of your high horses because falling down off pride will hurt. I am saddened that such a great doctor would surround himself with staff that is filled with pride they can not admit when they do their job incompetenly.
