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.

Dr.D'Ambra took a detailed medical history.He did a thorough medical examination.He explained in detail his diagnosis & plan.He answered every question patiently.He drew blood himself saving me a trip to the lab.I highly recommend Dr.D'Ambra

To make a long story short, Dr. D’Ambra told me my results would be sent electronically, and a user name and password would be needed to access the patient portal site. However, after reading the terms and conditions, I was a little skeptical, and decided not to upload my medical records so, I called the office and left a message for the doctor to call me back. I waited 3 days, without call back. The following day I called and spoke to Sarah. I explained to her that I had left a message for doctor D’Ambra but, have not hear back from him and wanted to know if he received my message. She explained that the doctor does not provide patient’s with results over the phone. So, I said to her in an annoyed tone “When was I going to be notified of this”? I called 3 days ago, and no one decided to call me back?” She started yelling on top of her voice inappropriately telling me not yell at her. I said to her “You don’t hear me yelling, because my voice is not raised, what you hear is an annoyed

He was verbally abusive to me. He told me “to spend more time on the treadmill than inside a refrigerator” because I had gained weight! His office staff is rude and unprofessional. It’s impossible to speak to anyone over the phone... it’s even more impossible to get any kind of authorization from this office! I DO NOT recommend this evil doctor of his office!

Dr D'ambra has a gentle soul. He appears very concerned about his patients, as well as very knowledgeable. His entrance was very warm and courteous. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
