    I see a lot of 5 star reviews & perhaps Dr. Castiglione is wonderful to most of his patients. I was…read morenot one of the "most". I write this review because I truly don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else. I went for a consult with Dr. Castiglione on the reference of another surgeon. I was having 2 major procedures done at the same time. The first was a highly complex hernia repair performed by another surgeon. That surgeon referred me to Dr. Castiglione. On the day of my consult. Dr. Castiglione came in, looking at my chart & asked what I was there for. We went over my case & Dr. Castiglione made a point of indicating that he saw I had seen another surgeon in the practice. I explained that the hernia surgeon had referred me to Dr. Castiglione because they had done these surgeries together before. He made a quip about knowing how the hernia surgeon worked & then proceeded to take photos of the area he would be working on. During the photos Dr. Castiglione said he may not be able to "save the bellybutton" that I might lose it because of the complexity of the surgery. I told him I would prefer to keep it if that was at all possible. He replied that the belly button had no purpose. There was no other discussion, no other consulting about the surgery, what I might expect from the outcome, nothing. I felt very dismissed. On the morning of the surgeries, Dr. Castiglione came into my holding area as though I were part of the assembly line. He quickly drew lines on my abdomen stating again that I may lose my belly button. I reiterated again that I hoped I could keep it. He looked put out. The day after surgery one of Dr. Castiglione's PAs came by to see me & informed me with no preamble "he couldn't save your belly button" I responded "ok" because, really, what could I do at that point. After discharge from the hospital, I developed an infection. I called Dr. Castiglione's office & also send photos of the incision. It was a weekend & I was told I could go to the ER but if I wasn't running a fever & wanted to see Dr. Castiglione, they could get me in right after the weekend. Since I wasn't running a fever I waited until after the weekend. I went in to see Dr. Castiglione, with my husband who came into the exam with me. Dr. Castiglione had a very cavalier attitude about the infection indicating that this "sometimes happens" and it "just needed to be drained". He then proceeded to quickly poke three holes into the incision with a sharp object. He then began to press on my abdomen releasing fluid from the newly poked holes for a few seconds. He instructed me to take a shower after I got home & press on my stomach to continue to release the fluid. He also prescribed antibiotics & told me to follow up in a week. When I stood to leave I was soaked & there was a huge slippery puddle of fluid covering the floor & the freshly poked holes in my stomach began leaking fluid like a running faucet. I had to ask for someone to come back & help me with some sort of covering to keep me from draining all the way home. When I went for the follow up, the holes he had made were now 3 gaping wounds. I brought my daughter in law, an RN familiar with wound care, with me. She questioned the doctor about caring for my wounds & when we clarified that she is a home visit RN, he responded that in his experience visiting RNs didn't understand wound care. She was professional & suggested a course of wound care & he agreed. Two days later my daughter in law suggested I seek out a wound care doctor. I ended up in would care for three month requiring a wound vac because the incision would not heal where Dr. Castiglione had poked & opened wounds. At a later follow up with Dr.Castiglione, he told me I had "over reacted" with the wound care & "it was not necessary". I would never recommend this surgeon to anyone. His cavalier attitude & negligent care are not worth the price you pay in mental, emotional & physical damage. I will need another procedure to fix the damage this surgeon has left.

    You will never find a bad photo or bad review on Dr. Glen Brooks website. I would like to attest to…read moremy own failed tummy tuck. I had skin hanging at the end of the incision. When I asked Dr. Brooks about it, his response was, " You have to end somewhere". Worse, I had to go to the office at least 3 times a week afterwards, to get the liquid drained from my stomach. It was incredibly uncomfortable. He finally said that he'd have to put drains back in, I said, back in? Drains? He looked at his notes and said," I forgot to put drains in" !!!! This was the first I was hearing about any drains!!! I was being prodded, invaded by him getting the liquid out of my stomach 3 times a week, when I didn't have to, because, he, "forgot"? To this day, 7 years later, I have hardened scar tissue, that I have been unable to break up. Needless to say, I was not one of the people that an," after" photo was taken.

    I went to get a tummy tuck with this doctor my main goal was my stomach. Since day one after my…read moresegury my stomach was big he told me to wait 6 month and I did. Went I show up in my appointment after the six month my stomach was still big he told that I can get a second opinion which I told me no because I pay hem a lo of money and he will have to fix my stomach after firing with hem he give me my second lipo but my stomach still look the same. So angry that I pay a lot of money to this doctor and he didn't do his job correctly since day one. In my last visit I told the ladie that I do have a second opinion and I am going to get fix now I have to go to Colombia and pay more money in order for me to get fix. But I am not the only person that have the same problem with hem. Ladies just think twice before get a segury with this doctor.
