Meet The Team

Peter Castillo MD, FACOG, FPMRS

Dr Castillo is a Fellowship-trained Female Pelvic Medicine specialist. As founder and director of Swan Medical Intimate Wellness in Los Gatos, CA, he is dedicated to improving common quality of life conditions that affect millions of women.

Dr Castillo completed his OB/GYN residency at St Barnabas Medical Center in NJ then went on to complete a three year Fellowship in Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery and Female Pelvic Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. After 5 years of clinical practice at Kaiser Permanente where his duties involved overseeing resident research and education and teaching medical students as Assistant Clinical Professor of Stanford University, Dr Castillo created the first private Intimate Wellness Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dr Castillo is actively involved in clinical research and is on several women’s health advisory boards to help shape new emerging therapies and advanced treatment protocols that address commonly experienced conditions that occur as a consequence of childbirth, aging, and menopause that impact intimacy and quality of life.

Dr Castillo aims to optimize health through root-cause treatments for the
common symptoms associated with aging. He is committed to empowering women to embrace their longevity and erase the stigma of Female Sexual Health
through educational events, seminars and compassionate care.

Greetings!

I am ecstatic to join Dr. Castillo and his team at Swan Medical. As a UCSF trained Nurse Practitioner I come with years of experience working as a Primary Care Provider (PCP) as well as in acute care and integrative therapy related environments. I have a passion for Functional Medicine which aims to get to the root cause of medical concerns rather than masking them. While working as a PCP I found the area of pelvic health and intimate wellness to be significantly underserved due to lack of accessibility to the most relevant and innovative modalities in this field. I am happy to now work with safe, highly effective groundbreaking technologies available at Swan Medical. Driven by the desire to help and the desire to learn, my aim is to help patients attain their highest health and intimate wellness goals in ways that can enhance and preserve all aspects of life.

My passions outside of the healthcare arena involve growing healthy organic food, surfing in the cold waves of Santa Cruz, snow skiing, and otherwise spending time outdoors with family and friends.

Carlos Sandoval is a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in medical dermatology, aesthetic medicine, non-invasive procedures, and clinical training. Growing up in Sonoma, California, Carlos struggled with cystic acne as a teenager. His journey into the medical field began when his local dermatologist hired him for a front desk position, where he quickly advanced to become a medical assistant.

His passion for dermatology and aesthetic medicine led him to pursue a nursing career at San Francisco State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. After graduation, he worked in a dermatology office, performing both medical and cosmetic procedures. He soon returned to school, obtaining a Master’s in Nursing from San Jose State University, specializing as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

In addition to finding his passion in dermatology and aesthetic medicine, he saw the need to also work in a hospital setting. He completed a nurse residency at O’Connor Hospital in San Jose, gaining acute care experience in the medical-surgical, orthopedic, and spine units. With a focus on non-invasive procedures, Carlos has developed extensive expertise in dermal fillers, neurotoxins, lasers, energy devices, body contouring, PDO threads, regenerative procedures, and resurfacing devices.

He is a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist and has been a clinical trainer for Sciton, a renowned laser company, for three years. He has also collaborated with their Research and Development team spearheading different clinical trials. 

Additionally, Carlos is a faculty member with the Allergan Medical Institute, the world leader in aesthetic injectable education. He is a national and international clinical trainer and believes that education is key to achieving beautiful and natural results.
