Kam & Dr. Long are a great team. In preparing for my surgery, Kam provided tips on things that would be helpful for post surgery. Dr. Long is always calm & willing to provide answers to all of your questions. Everything is explained clearly & on layman’s terms. Highly recommended by her other patients I’ve met.
