Dr. Evaristo Castedo and Dr. Paloma Martinez even checked on me after surgery, while I was in the hospital and when I got home he texted me a few times to see how I was doing. That’s amazing care.

My consultant, Dr. Muñoz, was not only a brilliant surgeon — he was a truly kind person. He explained everything, reassured me before surgery, and made sure I was doing well afterward too
