These comments relate to my visit with Dr Camera only. I feel that he has a strong negative bias. I was referred to him for a problem of shortness of breath that - my "GP" felt I should consult with a cardiologist. I exercise four times a week, play pickleball three days a week and have more energy than most people my age.I presented myself to him as a healthy, active 80 year old; his response was, "You are not healthy!" THIS IS NOT GOOD PRACTICE FOR A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL TO SAY TEN MINUTES INTO A FIRST APPT!!He had some of my test results that lead to my visit with hm - I was looking for an opinion on options to deal with my shortness of breath - not a new condition for me. He launched into a long and detailed description of a diagnostice procedure that could have dire effects, and only indicated that they were only indicated .06% of the time, AFTER I had reached a very high anXiety level. IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO PRESENT THIS PROCEDURE IN THIS WAY. I had a companion with me who has more knowledge than I about medical issues. She asked some questions, and he responded very poorly. She was politely trying to get more understanding for both of us about the need for the procedures and how they would be helpful. He ended up yelling at her, and was clearly angry. I FELT HE DID NOT SEE ME AS A PERSON, AND WAS ANNOYED AT MY TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES IN "LAY" TERMS. I am opting out of this procedure and have sought a second opinion. Tests that were done that day (July 24) showed up normal responses, and do not seem to indicate a need for any drastic procedures. I am very disappointed in his behavior - this is unusual at Legacy. He may be a good clinician; not evident from my experience, but possible. He is clearly NOT a "people person". This was my worst experience with Legacy.

Dr. Camara is my cardiologist and he is awesome -- actually listens to me and addresses my concerns also his assistant I think her name was Jennifer was wonderful the only problems I usually have as with any of my doctors is trying to get through on the phone to talk to a person I have been left waiting on the phone for ANYONE to answer -- then left a message only to not get a response -- everyone is complaining about the same thing --

Dr Armando Camara and all the people in the office always have been excellent and I am and have been very pleased with their services and kindnesses to me on my visits.

The only minor bad thing I experienced was the fact that I told the provider that I used to smoke 3-2 cigarettes per week and usually at social gatherings and that I had quitted that too a long time ago, but in the visit report on Mychart he had commented that I used to be a HEAVY SMOKER which was wrong. After I read the report and saw this mistake, I sent him a message on my chart and informed him that his report was wrong and asked to be corrected Immediately. Fortunately, he deleted that report and sent a somewhat corrected report saying "past smoker". It should have stated " Past light smoker"However, the provider was very friendly and pleasant and explained everything so I could understand. I recommend this provider highly.

Best cardiologist ever. Anticipated the heart related aspects of my upcoming surgery to my throat.

The only reason I didn't give this provider a 10, was because I had Dr. Rhodes before, and he was thePerfect Doctor. Dr. Camara was as close to perfect as possible.
  Mar 12, 2024
Always very good at listening and addressing my concerns
  Mar 11, 2024
Very satisfied
  Feb 29, 2024
Appointment was in response to a change in my BP symptoms that was serious to me. I was given an appointment the next day. Dr. Camara and Jennifer gave me as much time as needed to assess the condition, answer all my questions, and provide a plan to go forward in writing. A holter monitor was placed and a follow-up appointment is scheduled.
  Feb 27, 2024
Listened to questions, answered in a very understandable way and was very kind.

This was a follow up visit. Appointment was on time. Provider was courtesy and professional. A pleasant experience.
  Jan 28, 2024
This was single handedly the most disrespectful doctor I have ever seen in all my years. Not only was he extremely dismissive of any concerns he straigh up mocked my GP for showing CONCERN about a new gound issue to which Dr. Armando proceeded to mock. I was brushed off by him as he didnt want to see me.
  Jan 27, 2024
Dr Camara and staff are wonderful, caring, and very thorough
  Jan 13, 2024

  Jan 04, 2024
The only negative I have is it's so hard to get through to make appointments or talk with someone ..
  Dec 30, 2023
Medical care and advice were very good. Workload within the office suite seemed hectic at times. I always felt safe, cared for, and knew that help was nearby. My questions were answered adequately. My rights, options, needs, and decisions were respected.
  Dec 12, 2023
Originally one of the nurses over the phone was extremely rude to me. We worked it out. She apologized. I'm a pretty nice guy and I forgive people. That sort of thing, however, could make some people NOT want to go back. Main problem: NOT listening, trying to school me, talking over me, telling me to calm down. All very BAD concepts when dealing with clients. I was in pharmaceutical sales for 30 years. I learned the importance of making the client feel...FEEL heard. LIke I said, she apologized. It's OK.

NURSE JENNIFER AND DR. CAMARA WERE BOTH ATTENTIVE AND THOROUGH DURING MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM. I ENJOYED THIS VISIT.
  Nov 18, 2023
A good experience. The Doctor and staff answered all my needs.
  Nov 16, 2023
Scheduling the visit was delayed because the next months calendar was not yet open to scheduling so by the time I called back that month was full and I was scheduled for the following month, so my appointment was 2 months late. But I was not concerned, all is going well..
