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 believe Dr cambareri is a excellent doctor he did my knee replacement in 2015 and I'm so very satisfied with my knee. He did a great job with it. I also enjoy talking with him about my medical needs and what he was going to do with my knee he as very complete in telling me and showing me what he was going to do. He also is personable with is patients which I think is the most important in being a great doctor. In saying this I am very disappointed in sos and there new rule about your BMI

Dr. Cambareri is a knowledgeable doctor who has fair bedside manner. I only wish he took the time to familiarize himself with the patients chart a bit better before coming into the exam room to save repetive introduction to the injury or complaint.

Very considerate, patient, compasionate and thorough. I was in tremendous pain with drastically reduced ambulation secondary to horrible lower back spasms. I had conjured up all kinds of horrible scenerios involving surgeries and prosthetics. I knew he felt my fear because his assessment was a comfortable respectful blend of inquries about signs and symptoms and non-medical conversation. Dr. Cambareri gave me my life back with only physical therapy and no drugs. What a wonderful physician
