MEET YOUR PHYSICIAN
Hi there! I’m
Dr. Marilia Campos.
I am a double board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Nephrology who specializes in kidney health, blood pressure management, and cardiometabolic prevention.
My Story
I’m originally from Costa Rica and feel deeply grateful to have grown up there surrounded by family, warmth, and a strong sense of community. It remains a place that is very special to me, and I’m fortunate to return often to visit loved ones.
I have called Oregon home for many years. It is where I met my husband, a native Oregonian, and where we welcomed our daughter in 2024. Becoming a mother has been one of the greatest joys of my life—and one of the inspirations behind creating Optima.
Why I Created Optima
After becoming a mother, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and clarity about how I wanted to practice medicine.
I created Optima to offer the kind of care many patients are looking for but rarely experience: thoughtful, relationship-based medicine with time to listen, educate, and create personalized plans.
Too often, healthcare feels rushed and impersonal. I wanted to build a practice where patients feel heard, supported, and truly known—and where there is time to focus not only on treatment, but on prevention and long-term wellness.
A Message for Future Patients
My goal is to help you feel healthier now while protecting your long-term heart, kidney, and metabolic health.
I believe the best care happens through trust, partnership, and clear communication. I take pride in making sure patients feel informed, supported, and confident in the path forward.
Whether you are managing kidney disease, high blood pressure, weight concerns, or simply want a more thoughtful approach to your health, I would be honored to care for you.
