I regret changing my Dr. to this office.. No lie Yolanda every time she answers phones is so rude…read more She will leave you holding until you get tired and hang up on your own. ( I have waited 30 min) I cant schedule appointments for a month out. Horrible and now to change to another Dr. I have to have them give me a referral. Don't go here!!

Although I can't really say anything bad about the doctor, I will say that the office staff leave…read moreMUCH to be desired which can be told each and every time they take my blood pressure. Every other place and every other time I've had it check it's usually below the standard 120/80, but without fail EVERY time I get ready to step in that place I get a pounding headache and my blood pressure skyrockets. Make sure you have plenty of time in your day if you plan to go there because you will be waiting. I went there regarding back pain in January, but after waiting for about 45 minutes I was told I wasn't covered for the visit because my insurance had lapsed. It wasn't their fault nor was it mine, there was some error that had occurred on the insurance company's end, but EVERY other doctor I have been to throughout my LIFE the office verifies the insurance BEFORE the patient comes in, usually at least a day before so EVERYONE'S time wouldn't be wasted. So when I thought the problem had been solved, I came back again. I guess my insurance was in tact, but they assigned me to another doctor (again no ones fault except the insurance company). This time I wait well over 2 hours while Brenda, one of the office workers, calls the insurance to get the doctor changed back to Dr. Villatoro. After waiting Brenda tells me that she would have to wait 24 hours for reasons I to this day do not understand. She said she would call me the next day to let me know things had been handled. No call came to me and I decided to go down to the Dr's office. Brenda said she still couldn't get things straightened out, so I asked for the number so I could try. I called, the woman at the insurance company tells me that all they need is the Dr. Villatoro's office approval to be switched back to her as a patient. So the insurance company calls Brenda to ask if they would take me again as a patient and she says yes. That was it, no one else was called and I was now a patient again. I then call back to Dr. Villatoro's office, speak to Brenda and ask who the hell was she speaking to if all the insurance needed was HER approval. When I finally get to see someone, I'm given a I believe a nurse practitioner who I tell that I've had back pain before. I also tell her I was given some muscle relaxers, but stopped taking them because they made me very irritable,angry and basically have a bad reaction to them. So guess what she prescribes me? Muscle relaxers-what a genius! I do get to see Dr. Villatoro on my follow up visit and I truly believe she has discovered the reason for my chronic pain which I'm GRATEFUL for, but a few more tests have to confirm it, but between the long waits and somewhat incompetent staff, it's made me think really hard about changing providers. I haven't as of yet because it is so close to home, but if things like this continue to happen I feel like the frustration isn't even worth it.

The doctors are sweet and that's not the case, but beware of the beings in the front desk they call "medical assistance". Some may say It's ok as long as the doctors are nice, but I say, the doctors view your case for few minutes and they leave the rest of the referrals and the rest of the process to the girls in the front. We had gone there for a major issue regarding something suspicious that required additional testing and in-depth studies. As they, the "medical assistance", were specifically told by the doctor to request immediate referral for testing and for a specialist that is specialized in the concern, they tell us that we will get a call back within few days to a week to get the approval for the referral from my insurance. We called them back since we didn't receive anything nor heard back from them, and one girl says "still waiting on the approval, call back." I waited few days and called back again and another girl says "nothing in the system yet." I was doing this for about a few weeks, until one day a girl says "what are you talking about?! There's nothing about your case in the system." I, being enraged, trying to calmly and politely speak to that rude individual asking her to check again because this was going on for few weeks and it is urgent. She had the guts and the decency to reply back in such way that a person in her profession SHOULD NOT reply with, and actually raises her voice on me and was basically telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about. I started to speak to her in the way she deserved from the moment she picked up the phone, and guess what, SHE HANGS UP THE PHONE ON ME! I called back asking to speak to a damn manager to complain about the lack of their care for their patient especially one who has a suspicious medical case requiring IMMEDIATE medical attention. So the one that answers me tells me "we don't have the manager at the moment leave a message, and she'll get back to you." So I did. Waited for some human life to call me back, but failed me once again. I called and called AND CALLED and they said the same thing, "No manager at the moment." Not only that, but they all tried to throw my issue on the others, claiming that maybe this mistake occurred due to the fact that the girls were "new and in training". New?! Were all of their employees and so called medical assistance, new?! Are you kidding me? Not only am I in pain and worried up the roots of my vain, but you have the guts to insult my intelligence? I may be ill, but thank the Lord, I didn't lose my common sense. I felt like a deflated ping-pong ball yearning for some-one to bring me back to life. They gave me a very hard and difficult time. Something an ill being, or anyone for that matter, shouldn't have gone through. They also gave me a weird vibe as if I were a beggar pleading for a spared dollar to eat a humbled meal with. Really? Is that what medical assistance are all about now? They weren't doing me a favor, and I regret feeling this foolish feeling they threw at me, because they weren't doing me a favor, no, they were supposed to have been doing THEIR JOB, in which they had invested in and spent a good amount of time studying and paying for. They made it seem as if the doctor himself in his flesh; "imaginably" requested the additional tests my organs needed. Because if that weren't the case, I wouldn't be here on yelp at this day and this hour writing this review. Not only that, but when I decided that I no longer wanted their unnecessary service, I went ahead and requested my medical records from them. And this, my friends, needs another page of the suffering and frustration I also went through until they finally humbled themselves and granted my request of medical records. After sleepless nights, tears shed, and blood roaring with worry I finally ended up changing the doctor's office, and am now getting the longed for proper treatment. I wish no ill on anyone, nor do I wish them evil. If this is still going on with other helpless patients I just hope that maybe just maybe they finally change their rude ways. And maybe this may open their eyes to the true meaning of their profession, "Angels Of Mercy".

I had trouble finding a care provider who can help with my PCOS but she sent me to get lab work and ran some tests. I'm truly happy with the results and felt taken care of!

I used to see Dr. Castellanos when I was a kid with my mom, roughly between the ages of…read more12-15(2004-2007). Now as an adult I've realized how horrendous of a doctor he was. Our family eventually stopped seeing him after 3 years of being under his care. We went to him because it was hard to find doctors who spoke Spanish in our area at the time. I'll start with the worst. My mom used to be really concerned for her health. Over time we realized her concerns were signs of what she's now developed, diverticulitis and other digestive issues. She often came in with pain and explained her concerns. Dr. Castellanos would tell my mom that she was fine and to take ibuprofen. Any time she came in it was the same thing even though her symptoms progressed - continue to take ibuprofen. Eventually she told my mom she was too worried and was a bother. We finally stopped going to see him when she used the restroom and found blood in her stool. She developed ulcers in her throat and stomach that were very painful when eating. After we stopped going to see him we found out all of her symptoms were the beginning of diverticulitis. In 2009 she ended up going to the ER because she was heavily bleeding when she used the bathroom. A diverticula had burst open and it was discovered she has 3 total that had developed. She was taken to emergency surgery. She's suffered through diverticulitis ever since with multiple ER visits. Dr. Castellanos was negligent as a doctor when presented with symptoms. He could have referred her to a gastroenterologist but never did. We had HMO at the time and eventually switched to PPO but it was after dealing with him. For my own case, I developed gastro issues around 12 and realized I had sensitivity to certain foods that lead to a lot of gas and odd noises in my intestines. I felt shy about it as a kid but was worried because I didn't want to sit in class having those noises come from my intestines because well... it was awkward. My side of the classroom could hear my gas issues and I didn't understand what was causing it. When I told him he blew me off and told me to eat more fiber. I didn't bother more about it or ask because I was too ashamed to ask more. Years later I realized I had food sensitivities and that I need to be careful to avoid dairy. All of this to say - I would absolutely NEVER recommend anyone to see Dr Castallanos. My mom could have sued him for negligence but decided not to. Seeing him still in practice now and talking to family about health made me 20 years later have to go back to write this.

The office has the charm of a bail bonds office not the comfort one seeks when sick. Religious books and artwork are placed around the waiting room which isn't very inviting if you're not Christian. Also on the check up room the wall paper was peeling and the furniture looked as if it was donated by a thrift store that couldn't sell the junk. Also, and more importantly I requested a female physician for my family. That's who I'm supposed to see through my insurance provide. What I got was an old man who is not competent and even made a sexist statement. After two visits I called my insurance and asked for another physician. This place is terrible. I will also play pics fro. The room.
