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.

Dr Camera is professional, thorough, and compassionate. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Lacks Compassion
Went for a secondopinion for scalp psoriasis She told me I would go bald if I didn't follow her recommended treatment plan. I left wishing I had never gone to see her. She does not partner or listen to the patient. Very overbearing and intimidating. I was very upset when I left.

Great job
Dr. Camara always does a great job, she is very thorough with the exam, and tells me everything she is doing and why she is doing it. She always gives me all the information I need to move forward with my skin care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
