Jed Castillo MD is a general surgeon who specializes in diseases related to the abdominal wall, hernias, stomach, gall bladder, appendix, small intestine, colon, thyroid, parathyroid, skin and soft tissue, as well as vascular access. Having a mother who is a critical care and recovery nurse, Dr. Castillo was exposed and drawn to medicine at a young age. He finds medicine to be a very rewarding career and surgery allows him to work together with his patients to heal and make an immediate difference in their lives. During his residency program, he was awarded the Gold Humanism Resident Award, Excellent Resident Award in General and Minimally Invasive Surgery, and was Administrative Chief General Surgery Resident. He is certified in daVinci Robotic Surgical System and SAGES (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) Laparoscopy and Endoscopy. Dr. Castillo trained at Vidant Medical Center in North Carolina, a very high-volume, high-acuity tertiary care center, which was responsible for a third of the state’s population and gave him great exposure to the benefits of general surgery as well as its inherent risks and complications. He appreciates the diversity in general surgery because he is not confined to treating one part of the body and it also allows him to treat a wide variety of patients.

Dr. Castillo is originally from New Jersey and his patients would be surprised to learn that he lost almost 90 pounds during medical school through proper diet and lifestyle changes. He enjoys snowboarding, swimming, hiking, and especially travelling the world with his family.

Everything went well except for the communication about how long the procedure takes, period. You should let the patient know ahead of time that the whole procedure, including check-in and prep, can be more than four hours. Thank you.

Everything went really well with the doctors and the healthcare staff. However, the wait time when you first get there, I was there at 530, was a long time to wait in between the times you get there. And the front desk person wasn't the most pleasant. But the healthcare providers were excellent. Thank you.

And he's I mean, I had such trust in him and he is such a great doctor good bedside manner. I could not have asked for better care. He was. Right on point, so, I mean, it's just I really couldn't ask for a better doctor. Thank you. That's it.

Was my first experience with surgery. The whole team made me feel safe and well taken care.

Hello. Everything was mostly exceptionally good. The only thing I had a problem with is nobody mentioned to me about kidney disease, which shows up in, or injury, which showed up in diagnoses. And nobody talked about it to me. So that was the one thing that I think should have been mentioned, because I didn't know anything about it. And otherwise, all the staff there were excellent. And I think, you know, we're all very lucky that you have them. Thank you. Bye.

Am a pih employee It took an hour from the time I came at admitting to complete my registration 4/10 The front desk says their short staff I was there before 7am and I was at the dept at 8 with my scheduled procedure at 8 The admitting representative insisted that I had to pay 1000.00$ for my egd and colon procedure to meet my defuctible first in spite of telling her that being a pih employee I shouldn't since it's close to my procedure time I did .However when I got home turned out after checking with my plan benefits and Insurance that I need to pay only a copay 100$ bec am a pih employee with pih plan It was frustrating to go through the aggravation of straightening this ,the day after my procedure The admitting representative has to be knowledgeable about insurance plans To prevent this from happening

Great doctor and staff
January 02, 2024
Thank you very much Dr. Castillo for having attended me. The truth is he's a very professional person, and I highly value his work because he gave me first class care. He took my pain away and told me exactly what I had, and he told me I needed to be operated on immediately. I placed myself in his hands and in Gods, and now I'm home and walking and doing everything else. For me, he's an excellent doctor. May God bless him.

The staff for this procedure were exceptionally lovely, professional, and relaxingly fun and funny--from the primary nurse to the technician to the anesthesiologist, plus the recovery room nurse. The facility was clean and organized. I felt very confident and pleased with the service. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you.

Dr. Castillo was amazing. He was very caring, very respectful, and very kind. And his staff, Brizio, was awesome in setting up an early appointment when I most needed it. I'm forever thankful for this awesome team.
