Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I worked for him for around 5 years. Always nice snd kind and never had complaints from anyone. Good surgeon you are in good hands. The one thing about this office, when I worked there the Dr.’s only saw one Medicare patient per day. Medicare doesn’t pay enough. Medicare patients had to wait 2-3 months for appointments. Don’t know if they even take medicare now. Medicare patients may want to go elsewhere.

Kind, understanding, and informative
Dr. Cameron repaired my right shoulder with excellent results almost 3 years ago, and I have complete range of motion with no pain. The only reminder is the tiny incision marks! Naturally I returned to his office when I started having problems with my left shoulder, but he suggested ways to avoid further injury. I hope I won’t need another surgery, but I would trust Dr. Cameron completely if I do.

Shoulder
Dr Cameron was the only doctor to give me 3 options to help my shoulder pain. The others only gave me one.

I went in thinking I wanted to schedule surgery but Dr Cameron advised against it. I was amazed - a surgeon NOT selling surgery?? He said I have a lot more mobility in my arm than most people with this type of injury. Surgery will not give me more strength - which is what I had hoped for. Instead, we will continue with cortisone shots which help for 2 or 3 months. I am happy with this plan!

Expert in his field & has a plan of action 4 you
I was in total agony for a YEAR! A MAJOR misdiagnosis by 2 different doctors. I came to Dr Cameron and he saw right away a torn rotator cuff. He had a plan of action and I'm better than new. My other shoulder is acting up and so I went straight to him. He saw bone spurs and arthritis that are causing all the pain. Again he has a plan of action for this. When he goes in if he sees anything iffy he will just fix it! None of this just doing the minimal. He and.his team go above and beyond and all are just fantastic people to chat with. I wish he could do my knees and hips.

Dr Cameron made a significant effort to work me in on a Monday after my incident occurred over a weekend. He set my mind at ease for the probable diagnosis and was clear about the recovery timeframe.

Excellent Outcome of Rotator Cuff Repair
Dr. Cameron repaired the torn rotator cuff of my left shoulder via minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, with excellent results. After my surgery, he provided me with photographs taken inside my shoulder, showing the steps of the repair and the textbook-quality results. Six months after surgery, I have regained almost all of my range of motion and strength and am steadily progressing to 100%. I have completed a 3-night backpacking trip and can carry a 10-night load with no problems. Besides being a fine surgeon, Dr. Cameron is an excellent communicator. He is extraordinarily calm and patient in answering questions, and his explanations are succinct and easy-to-understand. He sets reasonable expectations about the surgery and recovery, including your role in the physical therapy. Dr. Cameron's office nurse was very helpful in showing me how to manage my sling and clothing after the surgery. His surgical team was top-notch and treated me like a VIP going into the surgery.
