About Benjamin Kamel

Kamel is a foot and ankle surgeon at Garey Orthopedic Medical Group, with offices in Pomona, Montclair and Claremont, CA. He is board certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery in foot surgery and in reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery. He earned his degree from Western University of Health Sciences.

His residency added a credential in reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery, and he was elected chief resident in his final year. Training included sports medicine at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton and a trauma rotation at Kaiser Permanente. His surgical practice covers sports medicine, trauma and forefoot and rearfoot reconstruction.

In the office, he also offers nonsurgical options such as radial shockwave therapy, PRP injections and custom orthotics. His approach is to begin with the gentlest option that can work and to choose the least invasive surgery when surgery is needed. He cares for local sports teams at the high school, university and professional levels.

Kamel has served as Program Director of a local surgical residency and as clinical faculty at Western University of Health Sciences. He has lectured at national conferences on topics such as sports medicine and great toe arthritis. He enjoys exercising.
