Dr. Castlemain is an exceptional cardiologist who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. From the moment you step into his office, you can sense his genuine care and compassion. What sets him apart is his dedication to taking the time to listen to his patients and address their concerns with patience and kindness.My son was recently diagnosed with a rare and dangerous congenital heart anomaly. This news has been tough on our family. Dr. Castlemain not only provided expert medical care but also offered much-needed emotional support and guidance during a challenging time. He takes the time to explain medical concepts in a way that's easy to understand and always makes sure we feel comfortable and informed about my son’s treatment plan. I've been consistently impressed by his thoroughness and attentiveness during appointments. Dr. Castlemain exemplifies what it means to be a caring and compassionate healthcare provider. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a ski

Dr. Casselmain was very clear in his opinion of my condition, giving me cogent choices of how to proceed. He was patient and concise in answering questions from both me and my family members. I am happy to have been referred to him for surgery.

While I am still torn between the choices of open heart surgery or a patch and other treatments through the groin, Dr. Castlemain has been unfailingly open about supporting either option I ultimately pick, even while he explains why he favors one. He has been low key, clear in his explanations, and comfortable to interact with. I am very impressed.

I was airlifted from Socorro hospital suffering from A.R.D.S. 6 years ago. I was 38 at the time with a 20% chance of pulling through. Dr. Castlemain and his team worked vigorously on me for 23 days while I was in a coma. Through Dr. Castlemains lead and expertise, I am alive today and could not be more grateful to him and the countless other's who helped save my life and continue helping save the lives of so many..... Thank you!...♡
