Patient Reviews
Dec 09, 2024
Dr. Camel is an excellent surgeon. I had to have hernia repair surgery, and my first appointment was very good. Dr. Camel put me at east, explained the entire procedure and answered all my questions. The day of the surgery, Dr. Camel again explained the procedure and the process. Everything went according to his explanation. My after-surgery visit was excellent as well. My stitches were barely visible, and I was up and recovering within 48 hours. I would recommend Dr. Camel to friends and family if they ever needed to have hernia surgery.
