Northwest Cardiovascular Institute: Camacho S Albert MD

I have been with NW for 14 years through heart attacks, cardiac arrest, four stents, CAD, multitudes of tests and an ICD. This place is wonderful and the service is first class.

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.
