  Mar 5, 2024
I thought Dr Camara was kind caring and very knowledgeable with regards to my concerns. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Jocelyn Camara is an excellent cardiologist and communicator. I would recommend her to very few people because it is incredibly difficult to get an appointment at her office. It is an ongoing problem, especially if told to make an appointment for 6 months out. She's very responsive to questions and issues through the patient portal, but with heart issues it requires in-person examination. I wouldn't want her to see more patients because it is so difficult to get an appointment, and that's the only reason I would not recomment her to anyone but a trusted friend in need of an excellent doctor.

Of all the doctors I have had in my life, Dr. Camara is my favorite, the one I feel most at ease with, and the one I have most confidence in regarding my medical condition.
  Dec 27, 2023
It took a while to get the appointment scheduled. The internal referral process was a little bit frustrating. The medical assistant was courteous, but not particularly friendly or interested. The provider was outstanding.
  Dec 26, 2023
Dr. Camara is the best. I am glad she is my cardiologist. My only complaint Is Legacy's system for making appointments. I have to make an appointment for six months from now. I can't make the appointment now, but when the calendar Is open, Is a real battle to make a timely appointment. Not sure what the solution Is, but the current way Is SO frustrating.
  Dec 6, 2023
Dr knew all my many complicated issues and was very prepared for visit. Only issue is the process of contacting your office. No one explained what was reason for so many things. I am getting older and forgetful. I need to call for an appt and hang up the phone with a date & time. All the stuff like calling back on certain day is just too much.
  Dec 6, 2023
I feel good that Dr. Camara consults with my oncologist on my tests/treatments.
  Dec 5, 2023
Great cardiologist but hard to get appointments
  Dec 1, 2023
It is very difficult to make an appointment with the scheduling center though phone. Most of the times, I like to make an appointment in person, even though I have to drive 20+ minutes to the clinic.
  Nov 17, 2023
Dr. Camara has been extremely helpful going over all of my medical history, and with detailed explanations to my questions. I am very pleased and look forward to her assistance in the future.

Excellent care by Dr CamaraNote: no other medical appointments in last 3 months so med review not applicable
  Nov 13, 2023
I have been thru a variety of cardiologists since 1st being dx'd with heart failure. I "found" Dr. Camara by calling the RN Hotline thru my insurance. Dr. Camara is a superb provider who is not only knowledgeable but considerate, thoughtful, observant, open to questions and feedback, and up to date professionally.
  Nov 3, 2023
Dr Camara always make sure we understand her explanation of the results of the EKG done at the clinic and always explain well to patient why she is reducing the dose of meds provided we monitor three x a week the BP! She is very respectful and courteous to us! She is very knowledgeable and able to follow up the heart condition of my husbandOverall will recommend her to our family and senior friends without reservation or hesitation.She Is a valuable assets to the medical group and hope she continues her practice In the field of cardiovascular for years to come.

Dr Camara is wonderful. I have the utmost respect for her and the care she delivers.
  Oct 2, 2023
Dr. Camara exudes excellence in knowledge and compassion. I am so impressed with her, she never makes you feel small or unintelligent. And, at the very end of each appointment, she ALWAY asks if you have any questions and also emphasizes if there are ANY problems day or night to get ahold of her. She's one of the most outstanding doctors I've ever encountered personally or professionally. She's truly an asset to your organization.
  Sep 29, 2023
Dr Camara is caring, friendly and knowledgeable. Had a blood test and she responded immediately with a prescription that I needed before leaving on a vacation. She's very good and listens to my concerns.
  Sep 27, 2023
The staff was great and the doctor was very good at explaining everything to me and patiently listened to my concerns.

Thank you
  Sep 26, 2023
Dr. Camara is a jewel!!! I wish she could be my PCP - she listens and remembers what we have previously spoken of. She is smart, kind, and and caring. I wish her medical assistant would step into the waiting room and look at the person she is calling for the next appointment instead of opening the door and just calling out their name. It is insulting as a patient. It's hard enough going to a doctor; we should all be treated with respect.
  Sep 26, 2023
Dr. Camara is an outstanding physician and cardiologist. She and the staff are very responsive to me and go out of their way to respond when I have questions or health needs. The problem is Legacy's policies regarding making an appoint or getting in direct touch with the office. It's just very frustrating.
  Sep 25, 2023
Dr Camara is exceptional
  Sep 15, 2023
I waited for months to get an initial appointment but once I was seen, I was very impressed with the quality of service Dr Camara provided.
  Sep 11, 2023
I showed up at 8:15 for an 8:30 appt as instructed and the office was locked with lights off. The sign at the door says it opens at 8am. I subsequently had to wait in the hall and then rush through the paperwork, some of which was duplicate from what I completed previously online. The doctor was exceptional. The nurse was great.
  Sep 7, 2023
Spent time investigating and clarifying my questions and developing a comprehensive health plan for me both short term and strategically.

  Aug 21, 2023
I was very pleased and impressed with Dr. Camara. I appreciated that she asked more than once if I had any questions as I was seeing her for a new medical issue.
  Aug 21, 2023
All my answers relate to Dr. Camara and her clinic.She is an incredibly kind, knowledgable, compassionate, organized, perceptive, and supportive practitioner. I trust her, rely on her, and her support and knowledge of my life (major) impacting condition and willingness to work with my choices for Treatment has been so deeply appreciated. She truly understands and Is so patient and respectful of me as a human being AND also clearly Is comfortable In her own skin. What a GEM she is.

  Aug 10, 2023
Although the wait was longer than anticipated because Dr. Camara had an emergency, her staff kept me apprise off what was happening and what to expect. I willingly drive 30 minutes across town to receive her expert care and that of her staff.
  Aug 9, 2023
I originally had Dr. Hamdan and he was absolutely amazing and one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I wasn't sure someone could live up to him but Dr. Camara certainly did! She came knowing my complicated history and listened with understanding of what I had gone through. She's kind and caring! I am in great hands with Dr. Camara!
  Aug 9, 2023

  Jun 21, 2023
This visit was my first visit with Dr. Camara who will follow my case. I enjoyed meeting her and will gladly continue with Dr. Camara as my new cardiologist.
  Jun 21, 2023
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Camara. She is really great. BUT... This game of needing to make an appointment in six months is so tiring. I understand that the appointments have not been released yet, but the notion that they may be open on this date, and that you have to try to figure out when to call back is really difficult. Then, when I finally call and try to make an appointment, there are none available -- even months in advance
  Jun 14, 2023
Dr. Camara is an excellent clinician. I feel well taken care of.
  Jun 6, 2023
Camara Is the best.I am a challenging, atypical case. They have taken excellent care of me. Best team ever.

Waiting 2-3 days for a refill for a HEART medication. Received a 3 day emergency refill from pharmacy. Not a good response from dr.'s office.
  May 5, 2023
I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Camara as my Doctor.
  May 3, 2023
Professionally nice
  May 3, 2023
Dr. Camara knew important information about my health issues and did a thorough analysis of my heart issue and how it might be related to my other health conditions.
  Apr 25, 2023
Dr. Camara is wise, caring and very professional. She listens intently. Her mannerism exhibits kindness and caring --- plus she is extremely knowledgeable about cardiology. Her electro-physics technician, Shawn (he did the pacemaker check) was extremely smart and kind.
  Apr 24, 2023
Very good.
  Apr 24, 2023
Dr Camara and her cardiology team are excellent. I wish I could say the same for the rest of the Legacy system.
