Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Christopher Casstevens receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional listening skills, thoroughness, and unhurried approach to care. Patients repeatedly describe him as professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, with many noting that he takes time to explain diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures in clear, understandable terms. His bedside manner is frequently highlighted as warm, personable, and caring, with patients feeling heard and valued rather than rushed. Many reviewers specifically commend his ability to provide multiple treatment options and involve patients in decision-making, as well as his preference for conservative treatments before recommending surgery. His skill as a hand and orthopedic surgeon is widely recognized, with numerous patients reporting successful outcomes and expressing strong confidence in his expertise. The professionalism and friendliness of his staff also receive consistent praise.
Patients also share
The reviews reveal minimal areas for improvement, with only a handful of concerns mentioned across hundreds of positive reviews. A few patients noted longer wait times to see Dr. Casstevens, though some acknowledged this likely reflects the thorough care he provides to each patient. One reviewer suggested better communication about delays for waiting patients would be helpful. A couple of reviews mentioned administrative and billing issues with the broader healthcare system rather than with Dr. Casstevens specifically. One patient expressed concern about post-surgical pain management complications related to an unrelated medical condition. These concerns represent a very small fraction of the overall feedback and do not appear to reflect systemic issues with Dr. Casstevens' care.
