My first visit with Dr. Castelein and his staff were exceedingly productive. The office was run so efficiently, and great pains were taken to get me in for an appointment. Dr. Castelein and his assistant were beyond friendly and knowledgeable. I left with hope that my very flat feet and stretched tendons can be managed and I will be able to get back to walking again without pain soon. Thank you everyone!Posted on Google![]()
