Reviews from my patients

  • Dr. Castro's exceptional care was a lifeline during my breast cancer diagnosis. He crafted a personalized treatment plan using innovative therapies and explained each step with data-driven reasoning. His focus on my individual needs and unwavering support not only empowered me but shrunk my tumor significantly, making a successful surgery possible.

  • As a 32-year-old sufferer of a high-grade astrocytoma, you realize that treatment options need to be sought from the best people. Dr Castro used a wealth of genetic data to create a personalized treatment plan that up-to-date use of available data, and that helped build my knowledge base. Two and a half years on, he is an invaluable asset in defining my treatment plan.

    Ali T., patient

  • It’s impossible to put into words what he and his work has meant for me. I wish everyone facing cancer, could have access to his work and I would highly recommend him. Today cancer is rising and we are all affected. Dr. Michael Castro is the person that could help move the needle and make cancer curable.
