Painless surgery with minimum anesthesia. Post op care is mainly done with automated daily questionnaire, it works for me. I am walking two weeks after surgery, albeit, slow and careful.

Dr. Camarata is a true professional and caring doctor. Everything that I have experienced since my surgery was expected because it was well explained prior to the surgery

Dr. Camarata has replaced three of my joints. He takes the time prior to scheduling surgery to provide your options and explains the procedures well.

It’s only 2 weeks today post surgery (and while I had pain above my normal threshold the day after surgery) I’m walking with a cane and almost won’t even need that! The staples haven’t even come out and I feel I’m doing extremely well ... ** I even stopped taking pain meds the day before I left the Hosp/rehab! PT is happy with where I’m at ... His PA Chris is available and the pre- surgery CRYO ablation was in my opinion a proactive plus and the app they utilize to keep n touch is innovative, attentive & integrative! Even with all the stress Dr Camarata must have had changing offices and delays w renovations during my pre/post surgery it didn’t seem to impact the care I’ve gotten. We all have to be flexible w those types of annoyances. That being said, I’m confident I’ll be back to golf, hiking, biking and being extremely active ahead of schedule. I’d say be brave, let him do his work and you do your work w PT and you’ll be thrilled w your decision
