Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I will never see another podiatrist .
My experience with dr Castellano was terrific. So many drs would jump to expensive tests and surgery but he explained alternatives that were inexpensive and requires only his expert exam. I was litterally cured in 3 weeks. I highly recommend him and if I could give a 10 I would.

Best Doctor!
Great disposition. Explains everything clearly and patiently. Corrected a previous surgery and couldn't be happier! Wish that I had found him the first time around and refer him to everyone I meet who needs a reliable foot doctor and surgeon.

If I could leave a minus score I would. This is simply the worse surgical experience I have ever had. A sports injury caused me to require ankle tendon repair. Sadly I chose Brad Castellano for this procedure. He convinced me that I needed 2 other procedures to remove pressure off the repaired tendon. The 2 procedures required bone cuts. The heel osteotomy was to shifted LATERALLY. Upon post surgical imaging the heel was misaligned UP and MEDIALLY. That's right folks. Not only did he allow the cut heel to slide up and not contact the ground, he moved it in the wrong direction. This is simply beyond belief. I have the imaging, the reports and the expert opinions to support these claims. As a very active man still playing sports (hockey and weight training), this has me very fearful I will be able to return to the capacity I once had. Now I must endure, more corrective surgeries, more opioids, more down time and more stress. STAY FAR AWAY from this man! FAR AWAY

Dr. Castellano is compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. I will never forget the excellent care given to me after I broke my ankle in three places. He explained everything to me and took his time. The entire staff at Gardner Orthopedics is kind and courteous. Quick scheduling and very fast response time. I highly recommend to anyone in need of ankle/foot surgery.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Castellano. He is very down to earth, professional, honest, & explains things very well. I just had bone spur surgery on my ankle. I felt very comfortable with him & the entire staff @ Colonial Surgery Center. Class Act! Would recommend to anyone. ?

I made an appointment and was called back by a woman the following day asking me all these questions about my health. She demanded my medication list to be verbally given to her over the phone. I have a lot of medications and asked if I could email it to her, and she said no that she does not have an email. So I cancelled my appointment. I won't deal with any Doctor who is so far in the dark ages that they don't have an email address. It was bad enough this woman called me while I am working
