Camel Mark MD

Most responsive caring care! Made an appointment with Dr Camel he looked over old MRI scans and did not see a reason for my pain. Listened well and took a thorough history. He ordered a new MRI which his office arranged for the next day. Had the MRI and within a few hours he called me to discuss the results. He answered all my questions. I am out of network for him and he arranged for me to speak with Lynn. She was extremely helpful getting answers from insurance on what they would and would not pay for. She called back in 30 minutes with all answers she was lovely. This is the way medicine should be practiced caring straight forward they do it all perfectly and seamlessly.

went to camel with unbearable back pain. camel said i needed a lamminectomy and performed it the next day. i asked if there would be any effects and camel told me there could be some temporary weakness because the nerves get bruised from the procedure and from related swelling, but that within six months i”d have all the physical strength and mobility that i hoped for. well, after one year, it hasn’t happened, and the side effects are not in any way receding. several muscles in the right leg are noticeably weak, i have a dropped foot and my toes are numb. camel admits that the nerves were damaged in the surgery and no longer thinks that the effects will ameliorate within six months… or ever. i now walk with a cane, slowly, and can’t walk significant distances. i’ve traded back pain for a handicapped placard for my car. bad luck, sure. avoidable bad luck? who knows?
