Andrew D. Kastello, MD
A Maryland native from Frederick and graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland, Dr. Kastello joined Mid-Atlantic Surgical Group to add surgical critical care, trauma, and wound care to the group's range of specialization, bringing him closer to family and back to the water.
After completing general surgery residency in Michigan, Dr. Kastello fulfilled his commitment to practicing in an area where access to surgical care is limited, moving his family of six children to middle Tennessee and starting a solo practice. During that time, he developed an interest in advanced wound care and burn surgery, moving to Augusta, Georgia to join the Joseph M. Still Burn Center.
Dr. Kastello returned to a surgical critical care fellowship after ten years of general surgery and wound care practice to apply his skills to caring for the complex and traumatized patient. He is delighted to be home and excited to share his love of the water and sailing with his family.
