Growing up, Dr. Castellon excelled in science and wanted to work in health care, so becoming a physician was an easy decision. "Many of my family members work in health care," she states.

Dr. Castellon's goal for every patient is to provide the best care possible. "I come alongside my patients and provide education and make recommendations, and then we jointly make decisions on a care plan that best suits the patient's lifestyle and goals.

My role is to help patients navigate a very complex system to get the best results available."
