She is incredibly kind and professional. Makes it a point to go over all the options with you and is funny.
Denise also delivered my baby a few days after my check up and we received the best service and care. I couldn't have asked for a better labor and delivery

More about Denise Castellanos, CNM

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. A native of Southern California, becoming a nurse midwife was a childhood dream for Denise — which evolved later with her own personal health experiences, childbirth, and included family members’ health experiences as well. She considers it a privilege to provide health services to all women. Denise describes herself as an excellent listener and believes communication is one of the key elements to a great provider/patient relationship. She feels that every patient deserves the gift of time incorporated with top quality health care. She enjoys teaching and is very patient. When not working, Denise enjoys reading and spending time with her three grandsons. She likes trying new restaurants with her four grown children. Denise has a rescue dog who she admits is very spoiled. LEARN MORE about MemorialCare Medical Group’s Women’s Services.

Denise was excellent an excellent listener and did a great job at explaining questions I had. She did not rush me out of the office. She took her time talking to me about questions and concerns I had. She was super helpful and well informed.

Denise is amazing and so thorough in her explanations and care. She always goes above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone.
It was my first time seeing a care provider at Orange Coast Memorial. Denise gave me exceptional care as well as the staff. I loved it so much that I changed medical groups to Memorial care. Thank you! I will highly recommend you to my peers.
I was scheduled to see Denise as my obgyn was on maternity leave. Denise is one of the nicest woman I have ever met in my life. I could tell right away that she cared about me, my well-being, my pregnancy and my baby. Denise called me to walk through every blood test that came back and called me every time I needed to ask a question or wanted clarity on something. I consider it an honor to have met Denise and I have a special place in my heart for her. She is truly the best!
I really enjoyed speaking with the midwife. she was very informative as well as welcoming. She even asked ahead before inviting a student intern, and the manner she spoke to me and the intern was very loving and encouraging.
I was very pleases with Denise. She was very thorough,sensitive,and professional. It was the first time I had such a thorough exam and detailed explanation of everything she did. I told about 5 people about her and the test I had. I was certainly very pleased.
Denise Castellanos is a very personable and compassionate care provider. She always greeted me with a hug and the biggest smile. Listened intently to my concerns and never interrupted. Denise would also review our visit and what we discussed before leaving to ensure all of my questions were answered and I was at ease. I had the pleasure and good fortune of having her help deliver my babies. I would recommend her to any expectant mother without hesitation. I absolutely adore her!
I had a miscarriage. Denise is taking really good care of me. She called me twice a day to check up on me and delivered all her promises thru email communication.
