Luis Castro, DO, is a highly skilled osteopathic physician on the team of talented doctors at Ross Medical Group in Miami. He was born, raised, educated, and trained in Florida, and prides himself on his keen awareness of the particular medical needs that affect the diverse population living in the Miami area.
Dr. Castro earned his medical degree from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is board-certified in family practice by the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians. Prior to his medical training, he spent 11 years working as a licensed paramedic and a licensed practical nurse.
Dr. Castro believes in a strong connection between a person’s physical, mental, and emotional needs, and practices the osteopathic philosophy of treating the whole patient rather than just attacking the symptoms of any particular disease. In his own words, “In the complex and ever-changing environment of today’s health care system, it is even more important to find a primary care physician you can trust and establish a long-term relationship with. It is my desire to make your healthcare experience the very best possible.”
For Dr. Castro, the pursuit of medical excellence is his passion and the health care needs of his patients a primary concern.
“Sadly for years we were unable to go to Dr. Castro due to a change in our company insurance. When they changed once more, and he was once again included, we wanted to send up fireworks and have a parade! Dr. Casto is the best. Nicest of the nicest and one of the most totally thorough docs around. He also explains things in way that the "layest" of laymen could understand, and treats you like a family member rather than a number on a medical chart like so many others. Never forgets who you are, even after missing for years, and to me bedside manner is paramount, no matter how good a doctor you might be. Dr. Casto has it all! ”
