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.

Great preparation for surgery & support afterwards
Good at explaining what to expect for recovery process. A great system for getting all the appointments booked and information to the patient to prepare for surgery.

Very likely to recommend Dr. Kamara .
Dr. Kamara was very patience and thorough in explaining the hip replacement procedure and that gave me the confidence to go through with the surgery. The follow-up after, made me feel that Dr. Kamara is concerned about his patients and their improvement.

Good Doc, bad hours
Excellent doctor. Works very few hours two days a week. With last appointment at 2:00This is seriously unacceptably for a popular doctor In demand. I have to travel 36 miles to try and make appt on time. I have to look for another doctor as he Is very unaccommodating

Best orthopedic doctor
I been a patient of Dr.Kamara for over 10 years he is a great doctor. Dr. Kamara listens to his patients and works with them. I would trade him for another doctor. I have a total knee replacement in December and he makes sure that I’m doing ok.

He has made me feel confident in his ability to help me keep walking on my own and be able to care for myself.He is very calming while at the same time direct in what may or may not happen. He made sure I knew what we were going to do and that I wanted this done.
