Dr. Castellvi did my first back surgery. He was a pistol! He was a fine man and a brilliant surgeon. I have missed him greatly and think of him often.

Dr. Castellvi performed a second back surgery on me in 1991...the first for him. He corrected what the first doctor messed up. I am eternally grateful for his skills and him as a person. Cannot believe this occurred/happened to him. Grace and favor on your family, may the peace that passes understanding come upon them and comfort them, in Jesus' Name.

First of all, I would like to send my condolences to his family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all. I received a letter from FOI, and was just devastated and shocked to learn of his passing. He performed my back surgery and we were now preparing for surgery on my neck. He was not only my doctor, but a friend as well. He was a brilliant, compassionate and caring man. He would always take his time with you no matter how busy he was. He will truly be missed. There will never be another "Doc", after all, he was truly one of a kind.

My deepest sympathy to Tony's family. I was one of Tony's first nurse patient's that he did spine surgery on in 11/84 and never had a problem. I assisted him in the OR for over a decade and became an excellent CRNFA because of having the best teach me. God blessed those of us who knew him. He will be loved and missed forever in our hearts. He was a Gifted surgeon, fisherman/hunter, dog lover and wonderful friend. I will always cherish the last hug he gave me when I saw him last year. God will help us and take care of him. He will watch over his loved ones. Be at peace.

My wife and I were shocked to receive the phone call from Florida Orth. I had a postop appointment with the Doc and was looking forward to seeing him once again. My sympathy goes to his family and friends, also to the people who might have needed his skill and talent. For truly the world has lost a fine gentleman and Doctor.

Dr. Castellvi performed major spine surgery on me Jan 3 and 5, 2011, and gave me back mobility and less pain. I was 71 and he was so proud of his success with my case. He was truly a wonderful and caring person and I am very grateful for being his patient. I last saw him Nov. 2013 for a spinal pain block I will miss him greatly. My prayers are with his family.

Doctor Castellvi, you performed my back surgery (L4-S1) in 1992, correcting what another Doctor had done and refused to believe. I am eternaly grateful. You are missed, sir.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Castellvi. He performed my Spinal Surgery in December, 2012. His son Cheech and my daughter went to Plant High together. I remember when Doc took such great care of our Principal, Vince Sussman, when he had his accident. That is why I would have trusted no one else to do my surgery. I remember fondly my visit just prior to my surgery when he held my hand and said "I will not let anything happen to you in surgery, I promise" it was so comforting to me. He will be missed! My prayers go out to his family and FOI in their time of loss.

Dr. Castellvi will be greatly missed because he was a wonderful man & physician. No matter how many appointments he had scheduled, he always had time to listen. Rest in peace, my friend.

Dr. Castellvi just performed spinal surgery a month ago and I wouldn't have wanted any other surgeon in the OR with me. A brilliant physician but even more, a tremendously kind and caring person. I can't express the sadness I feel. His family will be in my prayers.

Ramone and family... We are heartbroken with you. Doc loved his family and as busy as a Doctor can be made time for each of them. I loved sitting with him at UT baseball games. His smile was infectious and his joyful spirit contagious. He loved life and always wanted to make it better for everyone else. He'll be greatly missed because he was greatly loved. The Whitten family are all praying for you. You are loved. Pastor Ken Whitten

Our thoughts and prayers go to the Castellvi family at this sad time. As a neighbor, we were introduced to the family when our daughter Kathryn and Cheech carpooled to Plant. We also brought the family black lab home as he came to hang out with our yellow lab. Everyone will miss Doc and we pray he is resting with the angels after making this world a better place.

I was so heart broken to hear this sad news. I got to know him and his brothers many years ago at SJH. When I would see him out driving in Tampa he would have the kids with him taking them here and there. Great doctor, man, husband and father. My thoughts are with his family.

I first met "Toniy when he was a Spine Fellow at the University of Rochester, as I was the nurse manager for Orthopaedics. I had the opportunity to work closely with Tony. Tony loved all things Tampa and in particular, his family. Tony's sense of humor was superseded only by his intelligence and humility. When I moved to USF Tampa a few years ago, I had the opportunity to reconnect with Tony. Nothing changed - still funny, brilliant, and incredibly proud of his family. We traded stories of our families and the changes in spine surgery and orthopaedics in general. My thoughts and prayers are with you as we mourn the loss of such a loving and gifted man...and celebrate his life

I am in shock! Dr. Castellvi saved my quality of life 11 years ago when no other doctor would touch me. I am beyond saddened by this news. I am truly blessed to have found him when I needed him most. He then later became my dad's back surgeon just 2 years ago, and gave him back quality of life. My heart-felt sympathy and prayers go out to his family. I know he thought the world of his family. God's peace be with you all!

I have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Castellvi and I am very thankful I got to know him in the few appointments we had together. I am praying for the family, friends and patients he left behind. I hope I can find as good of a doctor as he was. He always found a way to make me laugh even though I was in pain.

What a shock, to open the paper this morning, and seeing the passing of Dr. Castellvi. Without a doubt, had he not performed surgery on me in 2009, I would be paralyzed today. He will be missed by all, both professionally and personally. God Bless and prayers to all the family.
