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.

Bored
Every visit felt as though I was bothering her. This doctor seemed uninterested with my concerns. Then since I had not made an appointment in awhile, I found out I was no longer a patient when I did request an appointment, with no warning. Apparently a patient's well being is not important.

What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions

Patient Care
Dr. Casal has been my primary care physician for the past seven years . She has been very helpful in discovering issues and keeping me healthy .I find her to be insightful, pro active caring, thorough, and professional. I feel well taken care of under her care and I recommend her to my family and friends. She always asks if I have any concerns and is prompt returning my questions .

Dr Casal has been my primary care for over 10 yrs now. She is always pleasant, informative and on top of the latest medical advances. I always learn something about my health and health care in general at every visit.

She recently "fired" me as a patient because I missed a blood pressure check. Just too busy right now to reschedule the appointment. She has been my primary care for 24 years! Apparently I am disposable.

Dr. Casal was my PCP for several years. She almost always presented (tone, facial expression and body language) as uninterested and not wanting to be there. Annual physicals consisted primarily of a potential safety hazard checklist. There was no preventive care, no referrals for tests based on age and risk factors. Even blood work only every other year. I wish I had found another doctor sooner. If I had the condition I now know I have would have been diagnosed and treated sooner.
