Gregory J. Castiglia's Online Review Report Card

He's a GUARDIAN ANGEL 😇 BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED !! So grateful to have him has done marvelous work on my back. Thank you DR CASTIGLIA 🏆🎗️

He preformed surgery on my spine in my neck. I consider him a miracle worker. He's very nice, not much for conversation but he is amazing as a surgeon. I think the world of him.

He saved my life

This doctor fused my vitibre crooked causing permanent nerve damage and requiring me to search for 3 years till I found a doctor willing to try to fix his screw up. My back and legs will never be the same. This man ruined my life and now I am permanently disabled. I highly recommend Dr Rogers in Buffalo. He did my repair surgery and at least I am no longer totally bed ridden. I have 3 other people I know who also had failed surgeries by this doctor. Do not let him touch you.....

I cannot imagine why this man deliberately lied not only to my dying mother, but the entire family regarding her condition after spinal cancer surgery, when we told him numerous times we just wanted the cold, hard facts. Out of state family wanted to see her if she was dying, but he said "Tell them to stay put. She'll be fine. We'll send her to rehab in a couple of weeks." 3 days later she was dead, full of cancer and we later obtained records to verify it. My only conclusion is that he didn't want to be bothered. He may have skills as a surgeon, but none as a compassionate human being. He destroyed any faith I had in the medical profession.

I am so grateful for Dr. Castiglia. He was able to remove an egg sized tumor (craniopharyngioma) from the center of my brain, and I am recovering well. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He patiently listened to all of my questions and answered them all until I understood everything well. In short, I owe my life to this man. He saved my life and I have fewer hormonal problems post surgery than most. I highly recommend Dr. Castiglia, He is awesome!

On 10/9/05 I was the victim of a gunshot. Through my skull. Not a grazing wound . I was shot just above and behind my right ear and the .45 caliber bullet exited through the back of my skull leaving a peach pit size hole just barely missing the vision center. I was rushed into surgery to remove a skull fragment that lodged approximately 4 inches inside my brain. Dr Castiglia performed that trauma surgery. I was..... Not living an ideal life at the time and I'm sure it was obvious to all involved that had they just let me die it wouldn't have been any unexpected loss to anyone. Including myself. I must agree that his bedside manner was.... Non existent.But , I wasn't there for coddling. The fact that he not only saved my life that day , but did a STELLAR job of it should speak for itself. The fact that I am able to see and hear today is amazing! I never got the opportunity to sincerely thank him .If you should ever be in need of a neurosurgeon (not a therapist) Dr Castiglia is the one you want to perform it.

Was very honest with decision as to why surgery was needed. Was very happy with seeing PA after surgery. But did need a little more encouragement as to problems after surgery. Otherwise very happy with Dr Castiglia. Very friendly, caring, informed my family after surgery with all details.

Fantastic, god b y

The doctor is great, if you can see him. The practice is overbooked so they are seeing 60 plus patients per day. I developed a serious cervical spine problem, out of the blue, something gave way, couldn't hold my head up. I called and called and got the run around. I had my primary order the Cervical MRi and then spoon fed it to the office, begging for a review so I would know what to do next. Continued to be in agonizing pain for days, and nurse claimed there was no problem with Cervical MRI (I have collapsed spine), and so I know the doctor didn't look at it. She then threw meds at me, such as muscle relaxers, which I am already on. I told her I was in agonizing pain. Apparently, English isn't English, and nobody cares. I see him for lower back issues, but can't get him for the upper spine. What's up with that? Nurses and PA's should not be self assessing a medical situation. She literally told me I had a muscle spasm and she could order therapy. I'm like, lady, I can't drive, I can't stand, I can't hold my head up. Therapy? Seriously?
