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.

Not a good experience
Dr Locastro dropped my wife as his patient because she did too much research and asked too many questions about the proposed procedure. His bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired and his practice is old school. His office provides no literature about procedures.

Extremely satisfied with the results. My leg has not felt and look this good in a long time. I would recommend Dr. Locastro to any one. The staff is great. It's not at all painful and totally worth it.

Arrogant, snobbish, condescending and self important. He had a disapproving smirk on his face during my consult. He questioned my heart surgeons reasoning. For me the visit was upsetting. I would never recommend him. To think I waited three months to get an appointment.

I had endevenous ablation and phlebectomy, I was terrified of the procedure but Dr. Locastro ensured me it was easy peasy, I was so happy to find out he was right. He is also one of the most punctual doctors' I have ever seen. I absolutely recommend him! His staff was also absolutely outstanding it's very nice to not have to deal with your own insurance company and actually have the doctor's office do their jobs, as they did so perfectly.
