I recently saw Dr. Eli Kamara for a meniscus issue in my knee, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. Dr. Kamara was attentive, knowledgeable, and very thorough during the examination. He took the time to listen to my symptoms, explained everything clearly, and provided a thoughtful treatment plan tailored to my condition.
May 16, 2025Semih E.Verified patient
Dr Karma did my knee replacement last year…this appointment was a follow up appointment.
He was warm and even asked about my husband (as he had accompanied me in previous visits).
He will be seeing my husband for a possible hip replacement..
Just to make a point he does not shake hands (and if my hands were the money maker for me neither would I) but he does great you in a positive manner…
April 28, 2025Carol R.Verified patient
Great office though a bit hard to find . There is a space/ plaza between 375 and 395 9th Ave . If you walk towards 10ave on that plaza it's on the left.

February 14, 2024Edwina J.Verified patient
Dr. Kamara was very professional and listened well. I like that they do an X-ray right there and then to determine any issues that couldn't be seen externally. I would definitely go back if I had to, overall good experience.
