Francisco Javier del Castillo Hypnosis acupunctureFrancisco Javier del Castillo, MD, FACOG, Medical Director

“I entered this field because it allows me to help patients get better with multiple treatments that work. I enjoy solving patients’ problems. I devote time talking to each patient in order to obtain a global view of the health issue or disease and how it affects them. I hope to give every patient high-quality, compassionate care because each one is special.”

Dr. del Castillo is proficient in the care of female diseases from adolescence to post-menopause. He is well-versed in gynecologic surgery, offering his patients both traditional and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery for such problems such as urinary incontinence and pelvic floor relaxation.

Considering patients holistically and not just as people with diseases, he also offers acupuncture as an adjunct to traditional Western medicine for managing many medical problems related to pain, stress and obesity. He has seen the ravages of excess weight on many of his patients and presently offers a very efficient and outcome-oriented medical weight loss program for patients who know firsthand the difficulties and complications of carrying excess weight.

Dr. del Castillo is the medical director for Essential Medical Beauty Treatments. Essential offers the latest medical technological breakthroughs to enhance your appearance. Services include: Vectus® laser hair removal treatments, facial and skin treatments, scar treatment, cellulite treatment using Endermologie®,  and IPL and non-fractional ablative Laser treatments.
