I've seen Dr. Camara for several years. She is professional, knowledgable but most of all kind. Never makes you feel rushed. I highly recommend her as a dermatologist.

I recently went to Dr. Camara for a dermatological scan for the full body. This was my first visit with Dr. Camara, who is very professional and knowledgeable, answering my questions about some problem skin areas. She gave me some recommendations on what ointments to use and I greatly appreciated her input and thoughts following my exam. I would have no problem recommending Dr. Camara to others having skin concerns or needing a dermatological exam.

Very kind, caring and knows what she's doing. I had a ski condition a couple years ago that no one else could figure out. She went above and beyond to figure it out. Skin condition, gone!
