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.

Excellent surgeon and physician who gave me top notch care both during surgery and in his office.

From the minute I was in the office Dr. Castaneda and his staff did an amazing job! He did a great job explaining what my problem was and explaining the surgery repair. They were all very flexible and worked with me to adjust the surgery date to accommodate my work schedule. The surgery was quick and recovery pretty much pain free. I would recommend him for this procedure(CMC) or any other hand surgery. His knowledge and skills will make for a great recovery I'm sure.
