My father is a returning patient of Dr. Castro, who performed his surgery 15 years ago. Just as he did the first time, Dr. Castro took the time to explain everything in detail. He carefully reviewed the different valve options, along with the benefits and risks of each, and empowered my father to make the decision that best fit his lifestyle and personal preferences.There is a reason my father chose to come back to Dr. Castro after all these years. His compassion, expertise, and dedication to patient-centered care are truly exceptional. He is a caring and gifted physician, and we are grateful for the trust and confidence he continues to inspire in our family.
