Melinda Castro, WHNP

She treated me like an assembly line instead of a patient. Wanted all kinds of tests done - which I’ve already had done at another practice - they just wouldn’t request the records - and then told me basically it was a waste of time to come in because I was “refusing all treatment” even tho I had my annual exam and pap done. She literally never even asked what I was there for - what my concerns might have been - nothing. It was you are getting this and this and this and this done - and here’s some other pamphlets on stuff. Never a word about why I was actually there. I sat in the exam room and cried after she left. It was one of the most degrading medical experiences of my life. It was a mistake to go there and I will NEVER return to this practice. Plus I was seen over an hour after my initial appt time. No sorry we are backed up or anything.

I have honestly never had a more painful or terrible papsmear in my entire life. There was NO warning before she touched me or inserted anything. I told her multiple times that I was in intense pain and she just kept right along. The nurse in the room did nothing. I was in total shut down afterwards and was very very uncomfortable. I would not recommend her to any of my loved ones and not even to a stranger!

She is extremely rude, rushes through appointments, and not gentle at all.

Extremely rude and condescending. I had her for my first-ever gyno appointment and I will not be returning.

Always very courteous and professional ver caring as well
