Dr. Reewen C D Souza Kamath, MD

I usually go to the downtown Portland clinic and my usual PCP is a wonderful, professional and kind doctor. I came down with something recently so I called for the Beaverton clinic which is closest to me. Dr. D’Souza was the only one who had an opening. I had to wait nearly an hour after the time they asked me to arrive to be seen and he was immediately short and cold with me. He snapped at me! I’ve never felt so uncomfortable with a Doctor in my life. Our visit was only about 10 minutes and I couldn’t have gotten out of there fast enough. I wish to never go back to this location! (The receptionist and nurse were NOT friendly at all). Horrible experience!!!

He is an excellent doctor. He takes care of me very well and he listens to me very carefully. He understands my problem and knows what to do.

I have never had such a horrible interaction with a doctor. This “doctor” was rude and so condescending I left in tears. When I reported the incident, I was sent a letter that they could no longer be my provider (this after years of being a patient). He was a substitute as my PCP was not available. HORRIBLE MAN!! I do not understand why he still a employed by the Portland Clinic. As I have nothing but great things to say about the other doctors. But now, after this experience (before the letter) I would never go there again and I am pursuing litigation against this so called “doctor”.

No words can explain how upset I am about this Dr. D'Souza. My dad just had a stroke last week, bleeding in the brain stem.. nothing has been the same. He went from being a very independent man who builds things with his own two hands, to limping and using a walker. The doctor takes a quick look at him, doesnt even want to touch him, and says he doesn't need care. My dad's quality of life literally went from a 10 to 2 on a scale of self awareness and health.. depression, angst, anger.. constant nausea.... and the Doctor (first time meeting my dad) says "he is okay, doesn't need the care." My mom was trying to just get him to sign a FMLA form for her to stay home and care for him for a couple of weeks while we search for someone who can take over. I should also add that, before my dad was discharged from the hospital, they asked my mom if she was able to watch him around the clock because he is going to need the supervision. Now we have to put my dad in the stress of finding another PCP… because this Dr. D'Souza has an ice cold personality and does not even care about his new patient.

The 45 minute wait AFTER my scheduled appointment time wasn't even what bothered me about this appointment. I finally got in, spoke to the doctor for 10 minutes and that was it. Which would have been fine had he actually helped me. I recently went camping and came back with a tick bite! I called scheduling to make an appointment to get my blood drawn so that I can be tested for lyme disease. Why they made me meet with a doctor, I don't know. And when I met with him, he pretty much laughed at me! He said that it isn't common on the west coast and that if I have to see it for myself then he supposes that he can request blood work for me. In the notes of my appointment online he even wrote that his method to resolve me coming in for a tick bite is "Reassurance". What the f**k kind of doctor says that "reassurance" is the method in which to treat me? Also noted that to ease my "anxiety", he'll let me have a blood test. My own manager that I work with, grew up in Oregon, here...on the west… coast...and got a tick bite as a child... and what happened? Oh, he got lyme disease. I told the doctor this, he didn't care. I also was explaining how my entire arm and side of my body that I was bit on was in so much pain and tender the day of and several days following.. he interrupted me when explaining this and asked a pointless question.. and of course, in the notes online for our appointment he says that I said I had NO pain! He is a crock.. I swear that he looked up lyme disease and tick bites on Wikipedia before he came into the room.. Now that I think about it though, Wikipedia provided much more than he did, so maybe not!
