Waiting time is ridiculous!

06/20/2024

She keeps up to date on medical information

06/13/2024

Just feels like an assembly line. No real discussion of risks and benefits of treatment. Have to be outspoken to get my questions answered. She always seems to be in a rush

05/16/2024

Dr. Camacho and the nurse were very informative as to what was going on. And I truly appreciated them

04/11/2024

Very caring!

04/09/2024

I always love to see Dr. Camacho.

04/05/2024

Provider didn’t realize that I had not been seen before by her

04/05/2024

told by doctor to make a 6 month follow up, soonest appointment i could get was 10 months later. Not happy about such a delay in my treatment.

04/04/2024

I was pleased.

04/04/2024

Wait time was a bit long, but the visit itself was good.

03/28/2024

Scheduling is a problem for return visits not schedule before leaving the appt. An 8 mo wait to see a provider is really not acceptable.

03/19/2024

No complaints! All is well!

02/28/2024

She is extremely knowledgeable. My osteoporosis is improving!

02/28/2024

Love going there once a month

02/22/2024

take time to listen to your patients, especially when you change their medication and treatment regimen

02/21/2024

I liked how she shared my future treatment plan with me.

02/01/2024

She's obviously an expert.

01/23/2024

She seems to have a hard time acknowledging or accepting side effects.

01/18/2024

I think that my ratings on the previous page were strongly impacted by the brevity of my appointment. There wasn't time for much of an exchange.

01/16/2024

Ok

01/08/2024

08/17/2023

Thoroughness and attention to my concerns was excellent.

08/05/2023

Last appointment, felt a little rushed

07/27/2023

I was the first patient of the day for a 9:00 appointment and was told the doctor arrives at 9:30. So that is annoying.

07/08/2023

Very well done and came out of there quite pleased with how well I was treated and well things were explained to me.

07/08/2023

Expert in the field of osteoporosis.

07/08/2023

Very efficient but with took her time to explain everything
