“The staff was super friendly and professional. Dr. Lacamera was informative, went through every step and even added some tests to ensure that my PCP and himself would have a fuller picture of my health. Great doctor, great office. ”

“The doctor seems very knowledgeable and explained things clearly. He is a very high energy person, who talks a mile a minute. Did not hesitate or balk to repeat or clarify when asked. So I was comfortable with that approach. I do plan to go back.”

Terrible. The appointment app ZOCDOC was awful. Thought I had successfully booked an appointment only to find that it wasn't an actual appointment, and a Scheduler called me back to make the actual appointment. Tried unsuccessfully to make an appointment with a phone call to the office's main number. The answering message said to leave a message and I'd receive "immediate assistance". Over a day without a call back. Part of the appointment scheduling process is to provide important confidential information to the ZocDoc app over the cell phone - DOB, Social Security number, photo copy of Driver's License, photo copy of medical insurance card, etc. Eventually I cancelled my appointment with this doctor's office. I am going to see a different doctor.

It was nice to have reminders leading up to the appointment. The Dr. called me after my appointment to let me know they had gotten my records from the previous dr. and that the tests were negative for the problem he was concerned about. It was nice know to have to worry about it.

Dr. LaCamera is not just a doctor; he's a compassionate guide through your health journey. From the warm welcome at the front desk to Dr. LaCamera's patient ear, my experience was top-notch.
He listened, explained things in a way that made sense, and crafted a treatment plan that suited me. The clinic is comfortable, appointments are easy to schedule, and the wait times are short.
In short, Dr. LaCamera and his team make healthcare feel personal and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that extra touch in their medical care. Five stars all the way!
