Dr. Igor De Castro, MD

My first visit and review were excellent, but since then, his staff has been difficult when it comes to information about billing as well as giving me information I need. I FINALLY got an MRI and I needed shots and I called five times to make an appointment only to be dismissed. His staffed lied to me about contacting my insurance company. His staff have basically refused to allow me to get treatment. I have NEVER experienced such unprofessionalism in my life. Dr. De Castro is probably one of the best doctors I've ever met and I am in constant agony but his staff won't even allow me to get treatment.

I have been seeing Dr. De Castro for almost two years. He always makes me feel at ease when I come in for my treatment. Being referred to him by my regular physician was the best thing that happened to me. In my opinion, he's the best and I trust him completely! The office staff are very nice and helpful.

Dr. DeCastro recently released me from further treatment following Lumbar Fusion on L4/L5. He had previously performed Cervical Fusion thru anterior approach. Both procedures have been tremendously successful. I had reached the point wherein I had pretty much given up on everything. Thanks to Dr. DeCastro and his VERY capable nurse, Darlene, I am once again enjoying getting out of bed in the mornings and greeting a new day.

This is my second cervical fusion surgery with Dr. DeCastro and I could not be happier with the results. I would tell anyone he is the best doctor I have ever been to,he certainly knows his stuff.Also Apn Abernathy is great.If you can see Dr.DeCastro it is worth the wait he is very busy and I know why he is the best.

Great Doctor, but almost always have to wait. Staff always seems stressed. Dr. Is VERY busy.

Prior to my procedure of having a shunt, I was skeptical because of the reviews I had read about the office staff. However, I did not find that to be the case. I did not encounter anyone to be rude or obnoxious. Everyone was very polite and compassionate. Dr. DeCastro's nurse, Darlene, was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. DeCastro has an excellent bedside manner and was very thorough in the explanation of the procedure and took the time to answer questions. I would definitely recommend him.

I have been seeing Doctor De Castro for over 3 years, and I have nothing but praise for him: 1. he listen to you 2. he explains thing to you. 3. great bedside manner. You must understand a doctor's job is extremely hard. He never rushes to judgement.

Best Dr.I have seen in almost a yr

Dr DeCastro was great - caring, pleasant, knowledgeable. However the entire office staff were rude, uncaring, unpleasant and downright obnoxious. I understand he "inherited" this staff - he really needs to clean house - keeping Darlene and replacing everyone else.

Dr. DeCastro was highly recommended....very courteous, easy to talk to.....explained procedures in an understandable manner.....promptness was given only 3 stars due to long wait in office but he spends quality time with you.

Wait time was over an hour even though my appointment was 7:30 a.m. and I was the only one there! Dr.Decastro is an excellent doctor and I was glad I waited. I do have a diagnosis and a follow up appointment. I hope the wait won't be as long this time. His nurse can be rude on the phone and in person.

My husband was flown into Mercy med center with a broken neck and other injuries the Er dr gave my husband no chance to live but when i had a consultation from Dr decastro he said my husband would be fine. he is the most caring and wonderful dr i have ever met. he saved my husbands life and we owe so much to him he is a wonderful person

Dr De Castro stressed a conservative approach to my neck issues rather than surgery right off the bat. GREAT!

Dr. De Castro performed a fusion of my C-4/5 approximately a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He really set my mind at ease for a scary procedure, and my relief from excruciating pain was immediate. I just want to say thanks to this wonderful surgeon and highly recommend him to anyone.

my uncle has been seeing him for 6 months and is steadily getting worse while the dr keeps says ct scans and mris look good. he has had 2 of each and still the only thing they keep doing is the same tests. plus when he does go for a test it a month before he sees my uncle to give him results

Dr Decastro is nice and seems to be a good doctor. The wait time to get a appointment is to long and the wait time when you are at the office is to long. Over an hour just in the waiting room then a wait back in the exam room then wait for a prescription in the waiting room. The worst part about going to this office is the office staff! Very rude, never a thank you or how are you. Office staff seems very lazy, unhappy and snobby , and they make you feel as if you are nothing but a bother to them. Will never go back and do not recommend to anyone. Look somewhere else for a neurosurgeon.
