I've had a good experience here. The team is warm, attentive, and thorough, and they make you feel comfortable. Dr. Castillo is knowledgeable and patient, and always takes the time to answer my questions. Teddy, their sweet service dog, has helped with my nerves and anxiety at appointments. I appreciate this team and would recommend them. 🦷🐾

Doctor Castillo is a knowledgeable, caring orthodontist who explained the different options for improving my bite and teeth. He has the latest equipment…a 3D scanner which allowed me to see my teeth in detail and their positioning. It helped to make an informed decision as to the need for orthodontic care. The highlight of my visit was Teddy, the therapy cavapoo dog who sat on my lap and took away all anxiety and fear of sitting in a dentist’s chair!

My daughter’s lower braces broke when visiting family for Thanksgiving in San Diego (we are from Chicago), causing pain in her cheek. Park View stayed open late after we called and were SO KIND to repair, even though we are not their patient. I hope that Dr Castillo and receptionist Veronica generous and friendly spirits are repaid ten-fold! What a wonderful Thanksgiving gift to us. They are a blessing!!
