Rosmeld Castillo, M.D.

I believe in caring for the whole patient, not just their medical condition. I take great pride in my bedside manner and firmly uphold the golden rule — treating every patient and family member with the same compassion and respect I would want for my own loved ones.

The most fulfilling aspect of my work is the opportunity to integrate my skills as both a surgeon and an intensive care physician to make a meaningful difference in my patients’ lives and serve the community in a positive way.

I deeply value spending time with my family, including my wife and two children. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and running, and I have a passion for exploring new cuisines, experiencing different cultures and discovering new places.
