Do you have any patient stories you would like to share?
Gary Warren, PA 642739272, Room of Stay 513 garyswett@yahoo.com “While visiting Medellín, I developed a constriction in my urethra, making it difficult to urinate. I consulted with Dr. Castellanos, who decided the best option was endoscopic surgery. He and his team did an excellent job with the surgery and post-operative treatment. Highly recommended. The medical service at Clínica CES is also first-rate, certainly equal to, if not better than, the US. Gary Swett, Everett, Washington.”
