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.

He does not deserve even one star...I was just higher Schooler when I broke my scaphoid bone (bone that holds my wrist) It was supposed to be just one easy operation, that ended up being 2 separate failed surgeries and huge scars and pain for the next 5 years I still get the pains., Worst doctor ever...i remember I use to make appointments so ask about the pain and he will just brush me off and say (are u doing therapy? are you keeping ur hand still when u sleep?) Worst Doctor...he ruined my football career completely. Thanks to him, I now have to work 9-5 job. ****You

Terrible! After some difficulties with what I felt was unsympathetic treatment by him and his staff, I requested copies of my medical records. I was shocked to discover that after he leaves an exam room, the notes he enters are very inaccurate as regards the actual conversation, in some cases insulting, full of omissions and tailored so as to make the patient appear uncooperative and difficult. While he is very friendly to your face, once out of your presence, he is the exact opposite. Truly, Jeckel and Hyde!

I saw Dr DeCamp yesterday and in 2017 for the same issue but different hands. My finger would lock up and the burning pain was awful. He knew immediately what was going on & explained it to me in detail. He is a kind and caring doctor who knows his stuff! Both times I was given an injection. My 2017 hand has been great. No more pain or locking. Now on day 2 my other hand is feeling so much better already! I reccomend Dr DeCamp highly.

Dr DeCamp did my surgery... carpel tunnel and sequel veins roughly 6 years ago. Since then I have started having issues.... tendon issues, bubbles in the skin near where he did my surgery. A month ago he tells me too wear a brace a night if it bothers me and do hand excersizes. Yesterday he tells me after spraining it and hurting the tendons wearing the brace is bad and because I have no PT visits due to insurance he can't do anything. He didn't even TRY to see what's really wrong!

He has bad bed side manners & if you still have problems after the carpal tunnel surgery he will not look into what other issue's can be causing you the pain.
