Dr. C is always very professional, calm, clear, informative & a gentleman to interface with! More Doctors should take a page from his book as to how to interact with patients!

Dr Casillas is so excellent explaining everything. He made my visit experience well

The doctor had excellent illustrations to help me understand why surgery was recommended for my case. He was clear and honest about the recovery issues. Any risks of the surgery were not mentioned. When I asked about post surgical infections he assured me they were extremely rare.
