PATIENTS LOVE NEXTHEALTHCARE

  • "I never in my life met a doctor who takes the time to listen to their patients like Dr. Castro does."

    What an amazing and caring doctor. I arrived early and was seen right away. I never in my life met a doctor who takes the time to listen to their patients like Dr. Castro does. She spent time listening to my concerns, asked lots of questions to get to know me and provided me with a solution that treated my symptoms immediately. She went so far as calling twice in order to set an appointment the following day. I’ve never experienced such a caring and dedicated medical professional like Dr. Castro in my 56 years. She is amazing.

  • "She is one of the most kind and caring healthcare professionals I have ever met."

    Dr. Rodriguez is a true blessing to Debary and its surrounding cities. She is one of the most kind and caring healthcare professionals I have ever met. When I took my mom to see her with an earache, she was very thorough in trying to find the root cause of the problem. I have never seen a doctor take such care and time to diagnose a patient's discomfort. If you are looking for a doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez.
