Dr. Joel Metelits
Joel Metelits, MD is thrilled to have joined the practice of Dr. Michael Castillo. Dr. Metelits graduated from the George Washington School of Medicine. He completed his medical internship and residency at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
As a board-certified internal medicine specialist, he served 3 years in the Indian Health Service before entering private practice. He was one of the founding members of Thunderbird Internal Medicine where he worked for 36 years. He was known for his deep understanding of body systems, genuine interest in patients’ lives, and his dogged pursuit to find solutions to his patients’ problems.
Dr. Metelits then started a solo sleep medicine practice. He meanwhile formed a company called Effortless Oxygen based on a pulse oxygen delivery system he invented when trying to improve the quality of life of oxygen dependent patients.
For decades, Dr. Metelits has referred his pain management patients to Michael Castillo MD. Why? Because of Dr. Castillo’s excellent clinical results, compassionate care, and innovative thinking. Dr. Castillo offered his patient’s regenerative medicine and integrative medicine treatments long before most other providers. Dr. Metelits has enthusiastically joined Dr. Castillo’s pain medicine practice. Although it is not the norm for a pain management specialist and an internal medicine specialist to work together, both are passionate about enhancing patient care.
