Doc Cameron, a positive influence and friend to me since he opened a practice in Owingsville. He never failed to heal my medical problem, educate me in some way, share personal experiences, and make me glad I ran into him that day. I smile and celebrate having known this outstanding man.

He was one of the very few real doctors left who could almost look at you and diagnose the illness, he had a photographic memory and amazed me every day I worked for him. Greatly missed by his patients from 7 counties.
