About me

Dr. Camacho specializes in the early diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. Research is an important part of his work. Dr. Camacho’s research includes clinical trials to develop new devices and medications for heart failure.

According to Dr. Camacho, understanding a patient’s individual needs is essential to treating heart failure. Creating personalized treatment plans is one of the most satisfying parts of his work. Dr. Camacho also works with a team focused on effectively treating patients in the hospital. This includes finding ways to keep people with heart failure from having to come back to the hospital after treatment.

Medical education is another important part of Dr. Camacho’s work. He teaches medical students in the classroom and in the OHSU clinics. Finally, he is involved in the cardiology fellowship program, the final stage in the training of future cardiologists.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
