Jasson Castano, PAC

My approach to providing medical care is treating the patient as my own family member. I believe in partnering with my patient to improve their health and educating them with information about their medical condition.

As a Surgical Oncologist, my care philosophy centers on delivering compassionate, patient-centered treatment that balances cutting-edge surgical techniques with holistic care. A cancer diagnosis could be devastating to a patient and their family/friends. Every patient has their unique priorities and understanding the patient's priorities and working together to achieve those is my top most priority. I believe in a multidisciplinary approach, working closely with other specialists to ensure comprehensive cancer care tailored to each patient's unique situation. I prioritize clear communication and shared decision-making, empowering patients to understand their options and feel confident in their treatment plans. My goal is not only to achieve the best possible surgical outcomes but also to support the patient's emotional and physical well-being throughout their journey.

I have been devoting my life to medicine in the past 15 years to understand pulmonary diseases in depth and to sharpen my procedural skillsets. I have had extensive training on pleural diseases, complex airway diseases, precise lung biopsy to diagnose lung cancer early. I’m especially trained on treating pulmonary diseases in cancer patients and graduated from the second largest cancer center in the United States. I’m on the education committee of American Association of Bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology and participating in the teams to formulate evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the American Thoracic society. I really hope to be someone my patients can trust and to make them breath and feel better.
