I let Dr. Kastin know that I get extremely nervous when I go to see any doctor and I apologized. He just smiled and asked me if I would be more comfortable with a female doctor. I don't him no, it was the person that bothered me, just that they were doctors. I had a great appreciation for him before that time in my consultation. I thanked Dr. Kastin for thinking of how I was feeling and that I greatly appreciated the offer, but that he would be just fine. I just need to get use to him as a new doctor for me. I think for me, that goes above and beyond to make a patient comfortable.

listened well, was compassionate and caring, offered hope that there are still a lot of things to try (when other Drs have pretty much said there is nothing else they can do) ........since this was my first visit, I can't say how well test and treatments will go, but I was very happy with the way things started off & am hopeful for future visits and treatment

More about Dr. Darren Kastin, MD
I chose a career in medicine for the simple reason that I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. When it came time to choose a specialty, I found gastroenterology attractive because it embodied, for me, a combination of what medicine is all about. As a physician, my objective is to heal the sick wherever and whenever possible, improving the quality of life for people with very real problems. In digestive medicine, achieving this objective requires a broad knowledge base and diagnostic skill while combining direct therapeutic intervention as well as medical management.
“I believe that being a physician and a specialist means making a daily commitment to doing what’s best and most appropriate for each individual I see. From experience, I know that patients just want to get better, and that’s why I’m here. It’s why I never limit or restrict my availability and always give them the time and attention they need. Ultimately, excellent medical care is all about caring, and I never forget that. It’s what motivates me to do my best for every patient.
Dr. Kastin specializes in fecal transplants.

He was okay. Nothing remarkable. I never ended up getting treatment from him due to my aversion to his rude unresponsive nurse, who was setting up a colonoscopy with me. I couldn't take it so I went elsewhere.

I had to wait over 45mins due to Dr Kastin being at the hospital hey it happens. Which was fine the staff handle it amazingly and apologized multiple times. Dr Kastin was quick to see me as soon as he arrived and was apologetic. He was great and caring!! Definitely would see him again!
