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.

Absolutely I would and have recommended Dr. La Camera to family and friends. He is a fine doctor who communicates well with patients and is very knowledgeable. He has my complete trust. Thank you for all your help over these past years and taking good care of me and my family.

Dr. Lacamera has been my Gastro Dr. since the year 2000 I have always recieved exemplary care, compassion and sound medical advice from him. He has helped me to overcome life threatening disease (Hep.C) and made sure I scheduled Colonscopy's when needed. I highly recommend him.

Most unorganized practice I've ever been too. It takes the office weeks to get anything done. Needed a simply referral faxed to another specialist. After two weeks, and calling daily to ask if sent, I had to call a different doctor to have the referral sent. Dr Lacamera used to be very thorough and caring. However, he's leaving at the end of the year and seems his patients have become none of his concern. They switched me to a different physician in the practice and I hoped things would be better. Unfortunately they aren't. Staff can't be bothered to make return calls, 9/10 times when you call the office they send you to a voicemail, then don't call you back. Will be looking for a new practice. Don't waste your time at this one.
