Patient Reviews
Nov 10, 2023
Dr. Castro performed a mitral valve repair and surgical Cox Maze. I made a number of calls around the industry (I work in medtech) and without exception everyone recommended Dr. Castro (e.g. no need for second opinion. No one better' was one quote). Dr. Castro spends exceptional time with the patient, very attentive, caring and never rushed. My surgery went incredibly well and was quite unique (including a lower mini-sternotomy - not many surgeons could do that!). The surgical and nursing staff at Sequoia were great. As another benefit, my scar is so light, no keloid...you can barely even see it. Fortunately my recovery has been swift. Open heart is a major procedure, but I will say that the experience was no where near as challenging as I imagined.
