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.

Didn’t answer one question I asked, then couldn’t wait to get me out of the room .... total joke . Called office coordinator and she said she has no control over him so I’ll hit the pocketbook and take my business elsewhere

I would only recommend him ifhe has replaced his nurse from two months ago. Dr. Sambey himself is good, but his nurse is bad. When an MRI showed no problem, she automatically assumed that must not have any pain—not the case. Dr. Sambey called it referred pain, Logical given my back and neck issues. The nurse was supposed to get me a knee brace and kept me waiting a while. When she returned, she told me she had to help a patient that truly needed help...inferring that I was wasting her time

Love Dr Sambry. He has always done what is best for me and my family. He is very much to the point and makes sure you understand what is going on with whatever your problem may be.

I am having trouble finding words to describe this MD. I will tell you: he is extremely non-professional. He actually made a diagnosis with out a physical exam. I went twice and each time he had me wait an hour before he appears for a 4 minute visit. I finally went some where a lot further away and what a difference in the exam the doctor provided and the care and the attention. Gainesville Orthopedic Institute needs to retire him.

Very arogant, no bedside manner. Treated my injury (torn muscle in calf) as if it was no big deal, rushed me out without explaining what exactly happened or how to heal it, did no testing, just his so called knowledge. Didn't want to ask all the questions i wanted to for fear of being belittled again..will definately go to someone else for followup.

He is quick to judge a patient. He has this God complex and a potty mouth. He thinks patients are made out of a money tree. He discredit his patients reasoning for why they didn't drive to Gainesville to see the Surgeon to be charged another $70, when the surgeon made his determination after I canceled the appointment surgery wasn't necessary. I was talked down to and asked why I don't take responsibility for my actions. I told him that I had an X-ray 6 weeks ago and my foot wasn't healed.

Did not take time to explain my problem and rushed me out of the office. Seemed very disinterested in my knee problem.
