Dr. Miguel Castro is an advanced heart failure cardiologist that gets professional satisfaction seeing his patients in the clinic and doing well. That’s because some of them were near death when they first met.
“The patients are extremely grateful our team didn’t give up on them,” said Castro, whose fellowship training came in cardiovascular disease and advanced heart failure/transplant cardiology at Houston Methodist Hospital. “But these are long-term relationships for us and these individuals are like family.”
It’s that family feeling that drew Castro to Memorial nearly a year and a half ago. He appreciates that while the hospitals can be big, the cardiac program is smaller, and everyone works together for the benefit of its patients. An added bonus compared to other systems Castro has worked in is that everyone on the clinical team is accessible and willing to do whatever is necessary.
