• Dr. Kastin was very pleasant. He was very knowledgeable about my medical history and he even let me know things that I never heard from any other provider regarding my polycystic kidney and how it's related to my aneurysm. So that was news to me and I've had it my whole life. He was very nice, very pleasant, friendly. He made a couple jokes and he just seemed very knowledgeable and did seem like he was trying to do all the tests and all the blood work that he can to help me figure out my migraines and where the route is for that. So I appreciate it and looking forward to still being his patient and figuring out what my symptoms are. So he's a great doctor.

  2026-06-15

• The doctor didn't really ever explore or ask about my present situation in any detailed way, things that I was concerned about. It seemed he just had a kind of a stock way of proceeding and didn't seem very customized to my situation. And I don't think that we ended up really having a discussion that was nearly as good as it could have been.

  2026-03-24

• Yes, I think overall he was pretty good. I think there was something that was lacking, maybe a rapport. Maybe he didn't ask me enough about my background or questions. So that I think was somewhat limiting. So I gave him an eight. I think overall he was pleasant, but just something in a connectivity that was not there. That's all I have to say. Thank you.

• [redacted] feels comfortable with the conversations Dr Kastin has with him

  2026-02-26

• This is my first appointment with Dr. Kastin. He asked specific questions about my migraines and listened carefully. He also explained the genetics behind migraines. I was extremely thankful and impressed that right away. He knew which medications I was on and how potential migraine medication's could interact with them and recommended ones that would not interfere with my previous medication's.

  2026-03-05

• Dr. Kastin is very knowledgeable and he's very responsive. I feel he's a very good listener and getting to him for an appointment is a challenge and I think that that kind of degrades the quality of service and that the first 10 minutes is all just kind of getting caught up. So it's where we were and where we left it. But he's very gracious and I think he's extremely knowledgeable and I certainly benefit from having the opportunity to speak with him. So I very much appreciate that.

• Dr Kastin is always very clear. He conducted all the tests that we needed in order to make an informed diagnosis in a situation in which a diagnosis is not 100 percent possible. But through it all I find him to have a great sense of humor and I am grateful for it. It has become such an impersonal world. When someone puts in the effort to make this kind of wonderful human connection it gives me hope for our distracted culture. It also shows humility and intelligence. I'm a fan.
