Dr.Castro-Arreola is professional while having a warm caring attitude. He answered all my questions about pre and post-op without ever being condescending or making me feel stupid.My impression of him only got better w/and after surgery.He talked w/me while the anesthesia was being started (just when you are thinking you should get up and run!)
The office staff were terrific;never had to wait long for an appt. and were very friendly.
The bariatric coordinator,Lorie, and her asst.,Norma, helped get the paperwork done and NEVER gave up when working w/my insurance.
I can not say what a terrific experience this was for me. It has already made me feel this was the best thing I have ever done for myself!
He was very pacient and answer all my question, He made me feel very confortable. His staff was very nice and they made me feel good even when I had to step on the scale(that always makes me feel bad). He explained to us the procedure and the risks and the aftercare progam.

Dr Castro was the simply the best. I was very nervous moments before surgery and he took my hand and stay with me until i went to sleep. He is very caring and understanding. I will recomend him to anybody.
