Robert Castillo
Hello! I am Dr. Robert Castillo Lagardera, a graduate of the University of Zulia with a degree in General Medicine, specializing in Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery at the Jesus Yerena Hospital in Lidice, Caracas. I have completed Fellowship internships in joint replacements with Dr. Juan Batista Zambrano and Arthroscopic Surgery with Dr. Ricardo Planchart. I have been to several hospitals in the United States and Italy. I am currently still traveling, but now sharing experiences in different parts of the world as a specialist. My hobbies are buying books to read (although this is not the current trend), soccer, the beach, and spontaneous trips. What I like most about the Santiago de Leon Clinic is its modernism, updated equipment, and staff.
