01Dentists

Our dentists

All three are general dentists. If you need a specialist, they tell you and refer you.

Founder, General DentistSince 2011Mon to Thu, downtown

Dr. Castellano founded Brazos Street Dental in 2011 and leads the clinical team. She sees adults and teenagers for check-ups, fillings, crowns and implant restorations, and says plainly when a specialist is the better choice. Away from the office she cycles the trail around Lady Bird Lake.
