I saw Dr. Castillo in February of this year as I was having gallbladder problems and wanted to get educated. Dr. Castillo listened to all my considerations about having the surgery and gave me his best advice. I decided to be proactive and have my gallbladder removed. Glad I did as I had over 200 gallstones! The surgery was a total success with no problems & Dr. Castillo had several post-op suggestions that were very helpful for my recovery. I would definitely recommend him highly to anyone!

At this point I can only review my initial experience With Doctor Castillo regarding an umbilical hernia .
For now we are going to keep an eye on it, and that's great news cuz I sure as hell don't want the surgery.
It was quite evident to me that he has very skilled hands. And that means a lot to me.

Dr. Castillo and his entire staff are very professional, considerate and caring. He listens to patient concerns. I saw Dr. Castillo for a right inguinal hernia and he found I had a recurrent left inguinal hernia as well. He performed surgery on both in December of 2017. Both he and his PA Joni showed great bedside manner, ensuring that I was comfortable every step of the surgery and post-op instructions. I highly recommend Dr. Castillo, referring several family members and friends to his office.

Please understand that my first review was out of confusion and miscommunication out of Dr. Castillo's control.
Subsequently, once that was cleared up and taken care of professionally by Dr. Castillo my care was impeccable. My surgery and after care was outstanding. I believe in Dr.Castillo and his staff.

Dr. Castillo starts off all smiles and pleasant when you first meet him. This is all a front. I had a recurrent Ventral Hernia he repaired in October of 2016. It is not even a year later and the whole problem has come full circle. He is extremely non-cooperative towards difficult issues and problems he in variably is responsible for regarding post-surgical complications and need for additional surgical intervention. My first hernia repair lasted 13 years. Castillo's lasted barely 11 months

Overly friendly, but he actually uses that to hide an anger issue, which surfaces pretty quickly if you are an informed patient. He has been around a long time, but is not checked out on latest methods, so he pushes you to do things his (old fashioned) way, when laparoscopic robotic would be better for YOU. Puts down other doctors that are more up-to-date than him. Pushes for the most over-the-top, involved, and expensive treatment (within the confines of what he knows how to do).

I highly recommend Dr. Castillo and Joni McIntyre PA. My experience with them both was amazing. When you are faced with surgery, I wouldn't hesitate to see them. Joni will completely put you at ease and their knowledge and professionalism can't be beat. Surgery was a success and feeling much better.

Every year I search for new health insurance and the only doctor I insist is on the list is Dr. Castillo. I had breast cancer in 2010 and now understand that our ob/gyns do not specialize in this. I trust Dr. Castillo and go back for a yearly exam. There is no better nurse than his nurse Lisa who helped me navigate through the trauma of breast cancer and the myriad of appointments and check-ups and followups. I have and will continue to recommend this team for breast health and all other.
