Love Dr Camarata! He’s been my ortho dr for about 6 yrs and has done 2 of my shoulder surgeries. He really is the best ortho dr in Asheville! Maybe one of the best in the country!!

Too rushed. Didn’t explain things well. Didn’t seem to care. It’s an epidemic in our healthcare system — throughout. I hate it.

Takes time to discuss issues, thorough exam, easy scheduling. He does not ask you to keep coming in, takes care of needs right away. Excellent surgeon ,both shoulders , and no complications.
