How likely are you to recommend Dr. Kamelgard?
I saw Dr Kamelguard on 7/20/2016 at Derm One in Freehold to remove a Cancer Spot on my face. I thought he was a super cool guy! He was easy to talk to and he explained everything ! He took his time! My spot was very deep and I had to go get a second cut then he stiched me up. He sews like my grandmother! 1st Class! It's on my face and I bet you will hardly see a scar. If anyone asked me for a great Surgeon. It would be hands down Dr Kamelgard. Jack (John) Adams Howell. N.J.
