Dr. Castelino was a wonderful doctor. I was very fortunate to have her. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you.

We discussed my autoimmune condition but there is not much information about this condition. We talked about side effects and she suggested I chew gum to increase saliva That is the same information she told me last time.

Professional, personable, and knowledgeable

Charming, caring, compassionate, experienced, superb academic background. I do believe this cluster of attributes is rarely found living inside one physician. I'm the lucky beneficiary! [redacted]

Excellent doctor, very professional.

I have rarely had a doctor be on time, and for this visit, she was 2 minutes early! That alone is worth a recommendation. She listened and that is what you want in a doctor.

On time and thorough

I drive over two hours to go to Mass General and specifically to see my doctor. She is amazing!

She does not take the time to listen or suggest anything that would help me with the pain and discomfort I have on a daily basis.

First time I see this provider and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't like changing doctors, but I definitely think she'll be a good fit for me.

Excellent

Dr Castelino has seen me over the last 8 years and diagnosed my illness and has treated it so that I'm feeling fine now.

Dr Castelino is thorough, knowledgeable, shows genuine concern, explains in detail, answers all of my questionnaires- brilliant and down to earth. I am happy to travel out of state and do not know where I would be had I not found her as local doctors were not familiar with my condition. I highly recommend her

She was wonderful, kind, respectful and caring. She was very reassuring and I felt that she wanted the best for me. She also respected my anxiety after my experience with another practitioner at another facility.

I was pleased with the directness in addressing my situation and explaining the course of treatment for the next few months. It was comforting that Dr. C. confirmed the prior diagnosis of PMR by my new PCP, and I am hopeful the treatment with prednisone will provide a long-term benefit.
