Swan Medical

Life changing, in short. I've been through quite a journey with Dr. Castillo and his colleagues. From hormones to pelvic floor reconstruction to skin treatments (and more), I have run the gamut. Dr. Castillo is one of the most informed and always curious doctors I have ever met. He is absolutely doing what he was meant to do. He is kind, thoughtful, engaged and very proactive. He's never in a rush and has supported my health overall, not just in what his focus is. He has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. Remy is such a fountain of knowledge. She is present and takes all the time you need to explain not just hormones, but how all of the lab results are connected and why it's a whole solution, not just individual things to address. She is absolutely a hormone nerd and is passionate about what she does. Dr. Doo is incredibly kind and always engaged and helpful. She listens well and always has tangible ways to improve things. She is super personable and easy going. I've only seen her a couple of times, but I really like her. Carlos! A total gem. Absolutely a skin expert, he is deeply knowledgeable and really invested in helping people improve their skin. I had him do a couple of treatments and the difference is absolutely amazing. I know I see it, but when other people see it, you know it's a profound difference. The office overall has a clear top down quality. Dr. Castillo hires people like him, passionate about what they are doing and invested in improving the quality of life for people. The offices (I've been to both a number of times) are clean and inviting, all of the staff is helpful and responsive. The experience of going there is a big part of it, it's inviting and comfortable and very welcoming.

If you have been diagnosed with prolapse and told that immediate surgery is your only option, I strongly encourage you to seek a second opinion from Dr. Castillo. While several physicians in the Bay Area recommended surgery right away, Dr. Castillo took a more thoughtful and conservative approach. He started me on a regimen of vaginal hormones and laser treatment instead. Six years later, I am thrilled to report that I have been able to avoid surgery - an option that comes with a low success rate. I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Castillo by a pelvic floor therapist who originally had been recommended by another urogynecologist. She told me that if surgery ever became necessary, Dr. Castillo would be the best person in the Bay Area to perform it, and strongly advised me to consult with him. As a Yale Law School graduate and a highly proactive medical advocate, I am meticulous about choosing my healthcare providers. I am confident that my search for the best urogynelogist is over, and I am deeply grateful to be under Dr. Castillo’s care.

Dear Dr Castillo, I cannot begin to thank you enough for making me well. I had been dealing with severe urinary incontinence and a difficult prolapse for several years before I came to you. My life was challenging when it came to sports and quality of life. Since I came to your office I have felt such compassion, kindness, and a genuine interest in improving my situation. Over time you devised the best approach to solving my health issues starting with non-surgical options and then realizing surgery was the best path to take. I was very anxious thinking about my upcoming surgery but all the medical staff were very understanding and reassured me I would be fine. They answered all my questions and spent as much time as needed with me. I am so grateful for your expertise and skill helping not only me but many other women. It will be my pleasure to highly recommend you, Dr Castillo, to anyone who needs an outstanding surgeon. Thank you for changing my life around and giving me hope for a much brighter future. With gratitude, Cherie Garcia-Day
