Hello, my name is Dr. Castaneda, and I graduated from NC State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2023 and then shortly after moved to Wilmington, NC. I joined the Leland Veterinary Hospital team because I have a passion for preventative medicine and strengthening the human-animal bond. My veterinary-related interests include dermatology and dentistry. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, baking, and going to the beach. At home, I have a 2-year-old golden retriever and a 7-year-old miniature schnauzer.
