Meet Dr. Christopher Castello (Ocala, FL)

Christopher Castello, O.D. received his Doctor of Optometry from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry in 1997 and earned his Bachelor of Science from Florida Atlantic University in 1992.  He is a Board-Certified Optometric Physician specializing in treating and managing ocular diseases.  Dr. Castello also performs routine eye exams, including contact lens fittings. 


Dr. Castello was the President of the Palm Beach County Optometric Association from 2006-2007. He also served as an adjunct clinical professor for Nova Southeastern College of Optometry in Davie, Florida, for four years.

Dr. Castello always wanted to help people in the medical field somehow.  When he first went with his father to an eye doctor appointment because of his poor vision, he realized optometry was the specialty field he was looking for.  He says it is a great feeling to help someone see better almost instantly and to develop a relationship with them for a long time.  Optometry has been challenging, rewarding, and precisely what he was hoping for in a career.

When Dr. Castello is not seeing patients or working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and family, traveling, doing woodworking, and playing golf.

For twenty years I have battled an eye condition and worked in customer service. I have visited many... eye doctors and clinics. Without any hesitation I can say I wish there something greater than a five star rating. From the moment I walked in I was treated like I truly mattered, and not like my name was there to just fill an appointment slot. Each step was efficient, but I was not rushed. Alex took my information. She looked me in the eye's and LISTENED. She was professional and compassionate. It was clear she takes pride in her profession. In a very short time Dr. Castello came in and treated me like I was the most important person in the world. He didn't rush. He was interested and focused. All doctors have many years of training, but what Dr. Castello and the whole staff have is something that can't be trained. They have humanity. They treat others the same way they would want to be treated.
