Dr. Kastin was very compassionate and very thorough with my neurological conditions, very complicated and helped me to understand better.

I was very displeased that my appointment was being moved to virtual after having to wait for such a long time to finally meet Dr Kastin. But he has such a calming presence and understood my long detailed medical history and all of the failed prescriptions that he immediately changed my perception of virtual therapy. Very grateful!

Knowledgeable and kind

Answered all my questions and easy to talk to.

Excellent!!!

[redacted] he was great.

Yes, I think overall he was pretty good. I think there was something that was lacking, maybe a rapport. Maybe he didn't ask me enough about my background or questions. So that I think was somewhat limiting. So I gave him an eight. I think overall he was pleasant, but just something in a connectivity that was not there. That's all I have to say. Thank you.

Dr. Kastin is a very knowledgeable, caring, kind, compassionate doctor. I love him. He also has a good sense of humor. He has a great way of listening and explaining everything in a way that I can understand it. And I would highly, highly, highly recommend him.

Insightful, clear communicator, and excellent diagnostician.

Very good he was concise and to the point yet listened to my concerns.

Dr. Kastin was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. He made me feel well cared immediately upon starting our visit. He took the time to explain each aspect of my care in a way that was easy to understand. I could not say more good things about him.

This was our first meeting. He had not yet had time to read a second neuropsych evaluation as it was late getting to him. He gave me some orders for bloodwork. I am having that done at MGH Waltham tomorrow morning. We will meet again in about 6 months.

[redacted] feels comfortable with the conversations Dr Kastin has with him

This is my first appointment with Dr. Kastin. He asked specific questions about my migraines and listened carefully. He also explained the genetics behind migraines. I was extremely thankful and impressed that right away. He knew which medications I was on and how potential migraine medication's could interact with them and recommended ones that would not interfere with my previous medication's.

Dr. Kastin is very knowledgeable and he's very responsive. I feel he's a very good listener and getting to him for an appointment is a challenge and I think that that kind of degrades the quality of service and that the first 10 minutes is all just kind of getting caught up. So it's where we were and where we left it. But he's very gracious and I think he's extremely knowledgeable and I certainly benefit from having the opportunity to speak with him. So I very much appreciate that.

Excellent Doctor who can relate to my medical issues and how to improve my quality of life.

Provider was thorough with his explanation and seemed genuinely interested and caring in the situation.

My care provider was wonderful. I received an earlier appointment due to a cancellation. He only had that morning to know that I was going to be coming in or late in the last afternoon. And he literally knew my entire situation in the morning when we spoke at 9 a.m. He was phenomenal, so caring, and he definitely wanted to take action to help me start to feel better.

WAS GREAT TO TALK TO AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING I ASKED

Dr Kastin is always very clear. He conducted all the tests that we needed in order to make an informed diagnosis in a situation in which a diagnosis is not 100 percent possible. But through it all I find him to have a great sense of humor and I am grateful for it. It has become such an impersonal world. When someone puts in the effort to make this kind of wonderful human connection it gives me hope for our distracted culture. It also shows humility and intelligence. I'm a fan.
