Dr Casillas and his staff should be a 6 star! Dr. Casillas was amazing, explaining things thoroughly to my husband and I. Neat incisions, minimal pain. Staff were great, all nurses were wonderful, from registration to post op, I felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend Dr Casillas and Backus Hospital. Thank you!

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Casillas is an excellent surgeon and an extremely nice guy. I had an ileocecectomy done (due to Crohn’s disease) earlier in the year, and I’ve had no complaints. I highly recommend him, his PA Megan McNamara, and his team.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Casillas took time with me. Explained things to me. Took time to listen to me to figure out what was going wrong with me. He’s patient, explains things to you, and makes you feel comfortable!
