Dr. Samuel Albert Camacho, MD

I've been seeing cardiologists for years. They've all been wonderful, but we've all basically been watching a downhill progression, with some blips along the way to help things. Dr Comacho spent a great deal of time listening to my heart and other problems. He made some changes immediately, and he made me understand for the first time the relationship between my ailing kidneys and my hear condition. And then, he went home and thought about it some more, did some internal consults, and came up with the Grand Unifying Theory of my heart, arthritis, and other problems. We don't yet know if this is real, but sure is logical, and it gives me the joy of knowing that someone, finally, has looked at the entire entity, not just my heart. He listens well, and long. He accepted my ideas as part of the analysis. Plus, the whole organization is incredibly efficient with all nice, and compassionate, people.

Dr. Camacho is the worst cardiology practitioner I have run into this far. I really preferred Christine Ensign here. Dr. Camacho, unlike Christine Ensign who filled out a needed form regarding my condition to an outside agency, would not fill out a necessary one page form for me that is necessary regarding my condition to a different outside agency (regarding expungement of my government college loans due to my condition)....and this is regarding my heart condition that he was intimately involved with. To my shock and disbelief during my visit, he told me to have my PCP sign the form. This clearly shows he lacks common sense....and I have been my own Pro Se attorney in Multnomah County Courts. So I do know what I am talking about. Furthermore, he lacks courtesy, care, is irresponsible, negligent, and is not pro-patient. I do not recommend you keep him on your staff whatsoever. Furthermore, he has not provided me answer, after a week's worth of every other calls regarding one of… my blood tests which proved to be found as "positive," which has lead me to further concerns about my condition, and I am in fear for my life. I might seek the advisement of a bar licensed attorney, since I can't do a civil suit like this one, regarding a malpractice suit against him. He truly is not for the patient, but for himself. And yet, he gets paid to do this. I wouldn't pay him, and I have been in Management myself for several years. I may be writing to the President of OHSU regarding this situation after I speak with Jaimie O'Halloren, Head of the Department, who has been rather helpful, most likely tomorrow 11/20/17. 12/10/17 update.....As an update, I finally got my test results from said undesireable doctor, after calling Jaimie O'Halloren listed above that he was forced to finally supply. He does not do his job, and he Does not care about his patients. I do not recommend him to anyone.
