Dr. Castillo is an excellent oncologist. He has a superb bedside manner and a great sense of humor, which always helps with people who are ill. He's very thorough, very knowledgable, and very caring, and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Castillo did a bone marrow Bx for my father, and even allowed Mother and I to be present in the room with Dad because Dad was more comfortable with us in the room with him. He did a great job, and explained everything as he did the procedure.
The only negative thing about the office is that the wait time to see this doctor is very long, but it's worth it to see a doctor of this caliber. However, I do think that waiting any more than a half an hour to an hour, tops, (unless the doctor has an emergency) in any doctor's office is unacceptable. After all, the patient's time is valuable, too.
I have referred one person to this doctor and from the feedback I got, they are very pleased with both Dr. Castillo and the level of care that they received from him.
There are two people that I know of who were fortunate enough to have Dr. Castillo as their physician. (in addition to Dad). One had breast cancer, the other lung cancer. Both are doing well and I am sure that they credit their return to good health, in part, to this fine and caring physician. If I were ever diagnosed with cancer, I would want Dr. Castillo as my oncologist. read more
