Francis Camillo's Online Review Report Card

What can I say about this amazing man. He is the best doctor I've met in all my years. Told me everything about my ailment the first visit. Was pleasant, informative, and is funny as heck. After my surgery, he left his pager number and when there was a problem with my script, he didn't hesitate to handle it immediately. Gratitude can't describe what I feel right now. Thank you so much for helping me when that big name operation wasn't going to. Much obliged.

Although the MRI didn't show much, Dr. Camillo was able to find the herniated, thoracic disc that had been causing me increasing, excruciating pain, over the past three months. Once I awoke from surgery, ALL THE PAIN WAS GONE! I don't want to live my life chasing pills every few hours; thus, surgery was the best option for me.

Doesn’t care about addressing current pain or root cause. Ignored my neck pain. Ignored my back pain. Very presumptuous. Zero compassion. Belittled prior specialist diagnosis and I basically wasted my time. Their website says they help with many things which they don’t. Got the overall impression that they simply didn’t care and didn’t think I was worth their time. Still in pain, still no hope. Did an xray but based on my prior history an MRI is needed for my neck and back. An xray is insufficient, inferior, and he knows that. The doctor was able to see my images from a 6 month old disk that I brought and kept asking him to take a look at. There was no post operative MRI for my neck and he didn’t care about looking into it. I am in pain and he was completely uncaring about it. He just wanted to debate about what he would or wouldn’t have done versus another surgeon and specialist. He brings up things about what did I pay them and made inaccurate statements about if my insurance covered my last surgery and they did. My surgeries were peer reviewed more than once and he continued to make poor remarks about the prior facility. He was extremely bias for no reason. I didn’t come there for that. I shouldn’t have ever been put in that position. I came there for help. I came there because I am in pain right now and needed to address my current issues. He belittled my past surgery saying it wasn’t effective but I told him more than once I had some good results from my prior surgeries but not all was addressed at that time and I have residual effects that I’m not happy with and pain.The doctor spent about 40-45 min with me but it was not helpful and mostly him just being negative and giving his personal feelings about prior specialist and then asking me about other treatments from a year ago that had absolutely nothing to do with today… nor my spine. This entire encounter was bizarre. I moved back home to TN to be around family and my care is on hold because I can’t find any decent doctor. Dr. Camillo wasn’t effective and his bedside manners are poor because he brought me to the middle of the office addressing me. Whatever happened to patient confidentiality? Doctor’s really get beside themselves nowadays and it seems everything is just about money and power. In fact on my first appointment I showed up to take my xray at their private facility downstairs and was told I would have to pay $300+ dollars for xrays. They knew I wasn’t in network and instead of informing me allowed me to come there 7:45am in the morning to tell me then. Why will I do that when I have insurance. That’s the purpose of insurance. I spoke to the doctor that morning and he said its about the money and I said it should always be about the patient. I continued to be confronted by their office staff about why I didn’t use their facility when they already knew why. I wouldn’t recommend Dr Francis Camillo or his office. I have 3 MRI reports but could only find the first oldest one in my phone but I have several issues all of which are listed on their site and nothing was addressed. After I pleaded with the doctor asking to be referred for a facet block or nerve block he said I’m the doctor and I get to decide if I want to help you with your pain or give you a shot. We are all going through things in life but whatever we are going through we should always be kind. He had no empathy. That’s sad to see in a doctor. I treat everyone with kindness and respect. I have empathy for others. It’s hard on me. I have pain pills I don’t even take because they don’t help the pain. After I pleaded for help since I waste my time and money to come there with no treatment he said he would refer me to another doctor for a shot and to see Dianne on my way out. I was told Dianne was not in and Michelle who is very pleasant and the only good professional interaction I had didn’t respond when I sent a follow up request. All I can do is pray and ask God to help me because so far the doctors in this area don’t care. I’m going to see a neurologist and try to find another doctor

This man saved my life. Enough said

I was never set up for a nerve block, as it appeared to be communication problems within the two offices. I went elsewhere and was scheduled within 2 days. But I still received that bill.

Arrogant

appeared that he wanted to be someplace else.

I was referred to Dr. Camillo and so far he is excellent i have never had a Dr that REALLY take the time and educate you on the problems you have. Most will just tell you what's going on and be ready to CUT ON YOU with just half telling you anything. I have had GREAT experiences seeing him.

Thanks to Dr. Camillo, I no longer suffer with the unbearable pain of sciatica. Prior to the surgery he explained options and risks of spinal fusion. He said that the most important thing was to decide on the correct procedure and to do it correctly. After consultation with him, I was convinced that God had directed me to the right surgeon. The surgery was on March 30 and it was a total success. Thank you Dr. Camillo.
