When I was 17 years old I went to South Louisville Pediatrics with my mother to visit Dr. Steven J. Kamber. He sat on the examination table with me shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh and kept looking me up and down during casual conversation. It made me very uncomfortable and I even scooted over slightly at one point, in which he moved closer to me. Neither my mother or I said anything to him, but we both found this extremely strange. I am currently 19 years old and during December 2022 I went back for an appointment alone. I was unaware that he would be my doctor, but that was my mistake. He again made me very uncomfortable by sitting on the examination table with me shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh. He asked me to scoot up to take my heartbeat on my back and when I began doing so he put his hand down on my butt to push me forward. He made casual conversation with me and when I showed him a picture of myself in a puffy dress he made the comment “you look like you gained 50 pounds in that photo.” I told my mother about this when I arrived home and she called the office to share her concerns. She spoke to a woman named Karen who immediately doubted my mother. She told my mother that he sits on the examination table with all his patients. My mother claims that he never did that with me when I was a child and Karen replied with “now I know you’re lying.” I spoke to Karen and she said to me “I don’t know what has happened to you” which I find very dismissive and unprofessional. Karen also told me that Dr. Kamber claims to have never made a comment about my body in a photo. I found a review about Dr. Kamber on healthgrades.com from December 02, 2021 that states “Made my 9 year old feel uncomfortable. He hugged and kissed her forehead then rubbed her neck while she was picking out stickers. We won't be seeing him anymore just because the discomfort she felt.” I tried to call back to express my concern about this review and had to leave a message that was never returned.

My daughter immediately loved Dr. Kamber. He will answer all of your questions as parents. He played with my daughter and took time to get to know her and her personality.

Dr.Kamber was my pediatrician until I was 20 years old. He is so fun and caring. I would have stayed with him forever if I could have. You can tell that he loves children and loves what he does each day.

Dr.Kamber will hop up on the table and directly talk to your child. He understands their quirks and easily communicates on the child's level so the child is involved in his/her care. He is great with my son and daughter. The whole office is! When it was time for my son's six grade physical and shots, he sat down and explained why the immunizations were needed. He was direct and point blank as to why they were needed-appealing to my science minded child.

Dr. Kamber seems to truly care about his patients. My boys love him and I'm sure my infant daughter will also. My youngest son has had some medical problems & Dr. Kamber has been very helpful & supportive. He understands a parent's fear & tries to calm those fears by answering questions and calling in specialists when needed. We could not ask for a better pediatrician for our children.

Dr. Kamber is great with kids. As new parents, he takes the time for us to ask all the obvious questions without making us feel like an inconvenience. He has a personal touch with our daughter that seems to calm her down. It's also obvious he loves his job which goes a long way.

He is wonderful with children. When my daughter was a toddler she carried around a stuffed bear with her everywhere. Dr Kamber would always examine Bear before examining my daughter. This was so much better than having to hold her down to be checked. I think it says alot that he would take that time. The medical care we get from him is great.
