Raymond Castaldo, MD, FAAP, is with Springfield Clinic’s Pediatrics Department, seeing patients at the Springfield Clinic Pediatrics facility in Springfield and at Springfield Clinic Carlinville. Dr. Castaldo joined Springfield Clinic in 1990. 

Dr. Castaldo both earned his medical degree and completed his pediatrics residency at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield.  

“I deal in general pediatrics and everyday situations, but I try to have a balance between serious and fun,” says Dr. Castaldo. “I like that to compliment my practice. I take good care of my patients and make sure parents are well-informed and then sprinkle in some fun.” 

Dr. Castaldo’s scope of care includes comprehensive evaluation and treatment in pediatric and adolescent medicine. 

One fun element that Dr. Castaldo incorporates into his appointments is the ukelele. “It really makes kids feel like they’re bonding with us here,” he says. Dr. Castaldo plays upbeat songs and invites patients to try out the instrument for themselves, as well.  

In his free time, Dr. Castaldo loves spending time outdoors. He enjoys snowboarding, hiking, rollerblading, skiing and bike riding. He also enjoys listening to music and playing guitar.
