    Excellent experience with Dr. Camac. Professional, kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable.

    If only gastroenterology, rheumatology, and the general practitioners at UK were as rooted here as Dr Camac. The turnover rate at UK is abysmal and undermines continuity of care. Dr. Camac is a breath of fresh air in comparison. Here's to hoping UK doesn't run her off too!
