Colonoscopy Procedures

A colonoscopy, which is a type of endoscopy, is a critical procedure for examining the colon and rectum, primarily used for screening for colon cancer, one of the most preventable yet commonly diagnosed cancers. We offer comprehensive colonoscopy services, utilizing this procedure not only for cancer screening but also for diagnosing various gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulosis, and polyps.

Hemorrhoid Treatment

Hemorrhoids, a common yet often uncomfortable and distressing condition, require a nuanced and patient-specific approach to treatment. Our clinic offers non-surgical hemorrhoid treatments, a simple, effective remedy for this common problem.

Understanding the discomfort and downtime associated with hemorrhoid treatments, our clinic emphasizes minimally invasive procedures. Our goal is to alleviate the symptoms and treat the underlying causes of hemorrhoids with the least invasive methods possible, ensuring our patients can return to their normal activities as soon as possible.

Doctoring the Way it Used to Be

Medical care has become impersonal, cookie cutter, and inefficient. It benefits the insurance and the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of the patient. I am on a mission to restore traditional values to medicine. Putting patients first and practicing with integrity and honesty are my highest priorities.

Our main office is in Arvada, which is an easy commute for those living on the west side of the Denver Metro, including patients from Littleton, Lakewood, Westminster, Edgewater, and other cities. However, we have two surgery facilities that we use. One is in Wheat Ridge and the other is in Golden, making it ideal for patients living nearer to Denver or closer to Idaho Springs, Conifer, and Evergreen, respectively.

As someone who's been in the medical profession myself for 40 years, I can say that Dr. Castro is one of the finest docs I have ever met. He is compassionate, caring , brilliant and humble. He is a "Patient First" doc. never self-serving or inconsiderate. He is so knowledgeable, but there is no ego or pretense involved.
