Dr. Camargo Faye is incredibly kind. She explained my MRIs patiently, and answered my questions thoroughly. She understood and cared about my condition and seemed to genuinely want to help me recover. She made me feel that there really is hope that I will regain most of what I have lost through this episode. She told me that she would confer with my other doctors at MGH Neuro ([redacted]), and will discuss the plan going forward at our next appointment. I am extremely fortunate to have such excellent care.

Dr Carmargo-Faye is one of the best Dr's I have had. She is by far knowledgeable in many areas of medicine that I have concerns with regarding my medical history and health. She listens well and is extremely thorough with her exams. I leave my apt. with confidence that my maintenance and treatment is a top priority to her. She is by far an asset to MGH and one of the most compassionate dr's I have ever encountered. I am beyond blessed to have her as a Dr.

I am forever grateful I found Dr. Carmago-Faye. I went through months of a missed diagnosis and many doctors who did not listen and made me feel small, and there has never been a time where I have felt rushed, unheard or belittled by her. She is thorough, intelligent, and incredibly kind and down to earth. Having my condition feels a little less scary knowing I am in her hands.

The provider is excellent. She listens well, asks excellent questions, and check all information she could before meeting me. However the person who took my blood pressure was dour. She did not communicate well and so did not explain that she was only taking my vitals (bp, temp, O2).
