I really liked Dr Camara. It’s been years since I've seen a dermatologist, due to bad experiences with prior Dermatology clinics. This clinic seemed very well run, professional, communicative and clean and Dr Camara had a very gentle bedside manner and did not try to upsell me on any services or treatments. I would definitely refer others to her practice.

I love Dr Camera. She is so thoughtful. She always asked about my aunt before she died. She checks everything and I feel so much better after I see her.

My visit with Dr. Camera was very good. It was on time and efficient. The staff kept me informed of everything being done… body check, freezing areas with liquid nitrogen and doing biopsies. Wound care was explained and questions were answered to my satisfaction.

Took my dad to see Dr. Camara for some suspicious areas on his back. He was very pleased with her / the visit. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly. Now I am going to make my full body skin check appt. with Dr. Camara. Also, the office staff and Dr. Camara’s MA were very friendly, caring and patient with my dad.
