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.

Calm and caring.
Very knowledgeable and caring individual.

The absolute best Orthopedic Surgeon in every way
Dr. Cammarata listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain in detail would is wrong and what is causing your pain and discomfort. He performs a hands on examine and discusses what options you have in treating you. He has performed 2 hand surgeries and one torn Rotator Cuff surgery and I have full use of my arm and shoulder and full use of my hand. There is no other Orthopedic doctor that I would trust to take care of my Orthopedic health.

Dr. Cammarata calms my nerves by being so calm.
He was very helpful by explaining exactly what was wrong with my wrist. Again, his calmness put me at ease. Surgery was needed and I felt confident in him. He has a great way of explaining things when I had a lot of questions.

Simply the Best
Dr Cammarata is the best surgeon I have ever seen. He uses common sense, investigative testing, and YOU, to determine the course of action. He replaced my left shoulder. Everything went well, recovery time was very short.
