    Dr Camac mentioned she reviewed my case with one of her colleagues and they were both in agreement with the principal diagnosis based on previous lab work and tests done. She was very thorough in her explanations and recommendations for a prescription that would help keep me from hopefully experiencing worse symptoms.

    I felt that Dr. Camac was extremely knowledgeable. She showed genuine concern for my health and she had a plan of action. I had bounced around trying to find out what was causing my shortness of breath and she was a star in my eyes.

      She is terrific. Nothing goes by her unnoticed. She found a problem with my lungs that others in UK Pulmonary overlooked. I'm so grateful to Dr. Camac for her wisdom, kindness and advocacy for patients.

      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!

      Dr. Camac, her resident Dr. Carter and nurse Malory (I believe that was her name) were exceptional. Caring, concerned, informative, thorough.
