Dr. Gregory Joseph Castiglia, MD

This guy is giving epidurals in his office without X-ray equipment. In my case, this resulted in an injection into the spine instead of the offending disk and left me with a dural puncture headache, an inability to hold up my head, and infection. I contacted the office repeatedly for days and could not get a response from anyone but a nurse, who made every excuse under the sun. I could easily have died, particularly when a nurse, who apparently doesn't have any training, makes statements that my severe pain was unrelated to the epidural, when this is a known complication. I didn't know that an X-ray machine should be used to prevent possible misplacement of the needle, which can cause not only brain aneurisms but paralysis. I can't explain my pain, but I can say, never again. Find a doctor who doesn't take short cuts. These guys are playing fast and loose.

This man put my family through absolute misery and we were unable to sue because we ran out of time due to NYS statutes. He lied to a dying family member who was terminal, claiming she had years to live and forced her into painful physical therapy 3 times a week as her bones were breaking from being covered in cancer. Thankfully another doctor stepped in and was honest.
