Castle Thomas H Jr MD

I visited Dr. Thomas a few weeks back for my shoulder and knee pain. Although the x-​rays and results were very fast, the doctor wasn’t very soft and careful with me. I told him that I have a back pain too and to be more careful with me, but he simply ignored and even pushed my leg forcefully once. I do not recommend this doctor at all !

Dr. Castle breezed into the room right on time after my daughter’s initial information was entered into the computer by two different staffers (Jen at the front desk and the other gal who took us to exam room 2 in Zone F — this is a BIG clinic). He somewhat overwhelmed my sometimes-​shy 13-​year old with his bold, friendly greeting and then launching right into a whole bunch of questions about her long-​standing ankle injury.
He had x-​rays taken of her ankle — digital machinery right there made this fast and easy, and the x-​rays immediately appeared on the computer screen, which was excellent and made for easy analysis by the doctor. He did a very thorough exam of the structures and then had her try a number of maneuvers standing up and then seated.
He arrived at a diagnosis and proposed a fairly simple three-​week treatment plan, with the caveat that he doesn’t like to see this kind of problem go on so long and that it could be something more complex than a strained anterior tibial tendon. If she still has pain after three weeks, we are to return for an MRI and a more complete diagnostic work-​up.
I was very pleased with the amount of information he shared in a short appointment. He was bright and very engaged… this was no checklist diagnosis without any connection to the actual patient. You might want to be prepared to take notes… he speaks quickly and you might find that twenty minutes later, you can’t remember what he said.
I liked how efficient their office staff was; they didn’t keep us hanging around for anything, they didn’t run late, and we were out of there in much less time than I expected.
The entire clinic appeared to be very clean and the equipment and systems were top-​notch.
