Talva Castillo, BSN, RN

I have been a patient at SMMC several times due to recurring kidney stones. These are very painful. Talva has taken care of me on every one of these surgeries. She has been great at helping me to relax and get ready for surgery. Talva has always answered all of my questions. She takes time to explain everything to me. She is wonderful to my family. She has become a friend, and I look forward to seeing her. She is always smiling and has a great sense of humor. She is very respectful and very professional. This makes these surgeries easy. She has taken care of me several times over the last 2 years. I am very grateful to Talva for all she does for me. She truly is an extraordinary nurse.
