    I love Dr Ambler and value that he's been my Dr for so long. I was pleasantly surprised that the wait time was only a week to get an appointment to see him. He's also made time after I had a hospitalization. I feel well cared for.

    Dr. Ambler is always informative and I never feel rushed. He always wants to hear all of my symptoms and discusses a plan of action with me.
