I would highly recommend Dr Camara to everybody. Dr Camara saved my life in 2016. I was being treated for Psoriasis, and she found a pea size dark spot on the bottom of my jaw line of my face. It ended up being melanoma from years of sun and being light skinned. She immediately recommended a cancer surgeon and 4 days of cutting in small portions they got it all and I am cancer free. Although I had over 30 stitches in my face it is hardly noticeable She has also put me on a treatment plan that has cleared my psoriasis 100%. I am down to 6 month whole body checks for melanoma and she is always very kind and compassionate. She has never forgot my story and always asks about my daughters that supported me through my little battle. I can’t say enough about her and the staff.
