Dr. Joseph Albert Amavisca, MD

For the past 5 years I have searched for a doctor who genuinely cared about me and listened to me. I had given up on this until recently when some symptoms became severe and new ones began. Dr Amavisca is now in Oregon and he became my primary care physician. The past two visits have been the best visits I have had in forever. Dr Amavisca listened to me, he heard me, he looked at my history and had tests ordered before our visit, he explained everything and he spent almost 30 minutes in my room reassuring me that, although my symptoms and case are complicated, that he will find the reason. He let me and my family ask as many questions as we needed. I have always talked about how we needed a doctor like from years ago that truly cared about their patient and we actually found one. I feel like Dr Amavisca became a part of our team today and I am so thankful for that. I don’t know how some of these reviews could be about him because he is the exact opposite of what is described.

He's a good doctor. Easy to talk to and addresses all your little problems as well as the big ones. 5 Stars may be a little strong, but he's in a big office with a lab to back them up. As a package, I'd give them a 5 minus.

Glad this dr is leaving area!!!

Was not allowed to talk. Was told he would no longer treat me even though he was not my physician. Was ridiculed for offering to pay at time of service. Was made to feel cheap and dirty and disgusting to the human race.

D r. Amavisca is the very best doctor that NBMC has ever had. He is one who does not rush you and explains everything in detail. You can disagree with him and he will take the time to explain why and how and he will never leave you in the dark. We would follow him no matter where in Oregon, Wash, or Ca. He is very trustworthy.

Patients are only scheduled for 10 minutes and you're lucky if you get 2 minutes of his time. Not thorough at all and sometimes can be very rude. Staff is very bad about returning calls or anything else and they never follow up on anything!
