I have worked in Bariatrics (which is the “treatment of obesity,”) for the last 15 years. It is gratifying to walk beside patients as they battle the disease of obesity. Obesity is a complicated and multifaceted disease requiring the patients and providers to address it from multiple angles including medication, behavioral therapy and change, surgery, physical therapy, and group therapy. There is nothing better than helping a patient be successful subduing this disease.

Clinical Focus:
Bariatric Surgery, Bariatrics, "specializing in the treatment of obesity"

General Surgery

I am privileged to walk beside my patients on their journey of self discovery and weight loss. I seek to offer compassionate, non judgmental, state of the art quality care to patients with the disease of obesity.

I absolutely love Dr Castle! She was great and was extremely understanding when it came to my situation, she was not judge-mental at all and made me feel very comfortable. The dietitian/nutritionist was also wonderful, he spent a lot of time with me & showed me an easier way to keep track of my intake calories, and gave me brand names of stuff. He showed me good options that I didn't even think about before.

Lynn is the best nurse/doctor I've ever had- or any in my family who I've had experiences with. Lynn listens to any of my concerns. I honestly believe she truly cares. She thoroughly researches or discusses my symptoms/concerns/questions. I never feel rushed. Honestly, I hate that she's not my PCP and gynecologist, and any other doctor I need to see. I really can't praise her enough.

Lynn is in the top handful of medical providers I have ever had. She is dialed in personally, medically astute, and she works tirelessly to ensure her patients receive the best, "whole person" care. She won't let her patients be swallowed up by the monstrous system that most provider care has become today. She IS the reason I chose this practice to provide care for my Bariatric journey.
