Dr. Castillo is a phenomenal doctor! He’s very helpful and listens to me and my family’s concerns at every visit. He always makes sure we’re well taken care of before sending us on our way. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Castillo is far and away the most caring and attentive doctor I have ever seen. He is the closest thing to the stereotypic family doctor from old movies and television, where I actually feel like he knows me and my family in a non-trivial way. It definitely feels like he actually cares about our health and wellness, not just that it's his job.
