Cesar F. Castillo, M.D. - Santa Cruz (CA)

Donald Steiny I have been using Palo Alto Medical Foundation for about 15 years. I consider them the Cadilac of medical services. They have a full range of specialists, and my PCP is awesome. So far, I have not run into any issues I hear others complain about at other medical practices.

Noel Morrill Dr. Shafi and his staff are amazing. Professional, takes the time to explain and answer questions.

Eva Pollard Shes the best! Very kind, smart, relatable and an amazing doctor/surgeon. Her presence is calming and she is very confident and and skilled, which makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. She respects your needs and your views, and is patient and doesnt seem rushed - she is very present and is very warm and caring. Highly recommend!

local user. I’ve delayed receiving medical treatment for months after being rejected by doctors on duty’s in Santa Cruz, I went in this morning from what I thought to be was a rash on my wrist. I had no insurance card and the 2 ladies at the front desk were very helpful and still managed to get me in with just the member # and my basic information. Not with just me but with everyone they handled and welcomed. Lainey (?) the nurse with the light purple scrubs and hair tie was so sweet and approachable. her attitude is what everyone needs in a work place. I didn’t catch the lady doctors name but she was nice and super patient listening to my concerns. it REALLY means a lot to come to the doctors on your day off and to be taken seriously and even was prescribed a cream for possibly ringworm. I saw on sign they were at capacity and came just after 10, I really appreciate everyone’s time. Everyone working Friday morning (10-11am) thank you so much your attitude and the workspace you’ve guys made doesn’t go unnoticed.

Karen Prouty Dr Suddeth has been my physician for over a decade. She is thorough and covers all the bases but also compassionate in her understanding of things going on in your life, which affects your health..like Stress!

Neil Happee Dr. Thaila Ramanujam is phenomenal doctor. She is a recognized leader in her field and has an exceptional ability to connect with patients in a way that elevates the level of care and treatment plans she creates, implements and closely monitors. Under her care you feel you have a doctor who is fully committed to understanding your diagnosis and adjusts as needed to your bodies unique responses to medications and combination therapies to ensure the optimal outcome is achieved. I have been treated by Dr. Ramanujam for 20 years and absolutely believe that my quality of life would not be what it is today without her.
