Dr. Casteneda is my hero! After losing 7 mo. twin daughters in September 1989 while under the "care" of a well known West Palm OB/GYN group, I elected to change doctors (imagine that). Dr. Casteneda had an office close to our house in Lake Worth and upon finding I was pregnant in April of 1991, I decided to go with an individual. I feel God led me to this conscientious, dedicated doctor who is responsible for my beautiful 16 year old daughter. After getting my history and that of my mother, he suggested a cervical cerclage which he performed at 16 weeks. He removed it at 32 weeks and I dialated 1 cm. I went in for my weekly check up the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I had a strange pain unlike pain I had experienced in labor or at any other time. He ran tests to check for gallstones or kidney stones, but when they came back negative, he suggested inducing labor - I was at 38 weeks. He induced labor on 11/27 @ 7:15 PM, and I delivered on 11/28 @ 7:14 PM on Thanksgiving Day. I am not sure he even got to spend Thanksgiving with his family. I never saw another doctor for any prenatal checkup or while in the hospital because this wonderful, beautiful man was dedicated to getting my baby here safe and healthy. Thanks to his dedication, commitment, and work ethic, we are blessed with our beautiful daughter. Thank you seems so insufficient. He is an Angel on earth in my book! I highly recommend him without hesitation and thank God for him every day.
