Patient Reviews
Nov 08, 2022
Dr. Castillo is an incredible surgeon. It's been 4 weeks since my surgery and my results are AMAZING! He adjusted his schedule to fit me in the same week, and has been extremely kind and patient with me for the entire process, thoroughly explaining the procedure and associated risks (despite me being 30 minutes late to my appointment) and has continued to check in regularly post op. I would recommend him to all my family and friends.
