Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Yes, I have recommended Dr. Ambler to family, neighbors, and friends. I have found him to be a good listener, asks questions for more information about my issues. When I was out of town and concerned about symptoms related to previous health issues, he got back to me the same day on a virtual chat. This helped to reduce my concerns and those of family members that I was visiting. An appointment was scheduled for my return.

Demands to schedule appointments for no reason. When questioned why patient had to be seen for no reason they were then told that they would no longer see patient. When new physician's office directly requested transfer of medical records they contacted the former patient not the new physicians office and stated they would not release records until a ridiculous fee was paid. Very poor practice. Not about the patient, obviously about money only. Disgusting. I my 30+ years of a lot of physicians & medical issues have never experienced such a practice and disregard for the actual patient.

I have been seeing Dr. Ambler for 20-25 years. He is an excellent clinician. He takes time to listen to me as a patient and doesn't over prescribe medication opting for wellness and less evasive procedures when available.

Both my husband and myself are seniors and had wonderful experiences with Dr. Ambler. He listened and cared about each of our concerns. Most importantly, he immediately setup the care we needed . He is brilliant and able to focus on exact answers to problems that have eluded other physicians in the past. So happy he is our new primary care physician.
