Patient Reviews
Jul 05, 2024
I had emergency appendix surgery from Dr. Camel, and I have nothing but praise for him. The decision-making process moved so quickly that I missed the opportunity to see this doctor earlier.He came into the room just before the surgery and gave me an explanation of what to expect, which made me feel less anxious. I had a successful surgery, and I'm currently recovering.
