What Our Patients Say
I can’t say enough good things about this office. From the day I called for an appointment I was so impressed with the staff. Then when we went into the office things were even better. Dr Ambay was amazing. Puts you at ease and goes in depth into what you want, the real expectations and how procedures will be done. By the time you leave you feel so confident in him and his staff. I left knowing I didn’t need a second opinion, he’s the guy! Great staff and amazing doctor.
I went to Ambay for a consultation and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The team and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful the entire time. Dr. Ambay was very direct and informative regarding the procedure, my options, and all factors going into it. He was very well educated and made sure that I was educated on all of my options and was very thorough in explaining the “why” behind all of my options. Overall it was a very exciting and stress free experience!
From the very first phone call, I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Ambay and his incredible staff. Every step of the process—from the initial consultation to the follow-up calls—was handled with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They took the time to answer all of my questions, made sure I felt comfortable, and never made me feel rushed or unheard. Their professionalism combined with their warm, understanding approach truly sets them apart. I can't recommend Dr. Ambay and his team highly enough!
I recently had a consultation with Dr. Ambay, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. With over 30 years of experience, his expertise and confidence are immediately evident, and he approaches his work with a level of care and professionalism that is truly unmatched. Dr. Ambay is incredibly kind, personable, and down-to-earth, which instantly put me at ease. He took the time to give me his undivided attention, thoroughly explaining every step of the procedures I was considering...
My consultation with Dr. Ambay was amazing. He was so personable and eager to answer any questions or concerns I had about the procedure I am looking at. He went through the process step by step and explained each one so clearly. I didnt feel like he was in a rush to get to another patient. His staff in the office are amazing as well. I was very pleased with my experience. Hoping to schedule my procedure in the very near future.
Meeting with Dr. Ambay for a consultation was by far the best experience I've had meeting with a doctor to discuss my concerns. He takes the time to listen, understand and explain any questions before you even ask. I felt completely comfortable booking my procedure and I was not disappointed. His entire staff makes sure you have all your questions answered and are very nice and helpful. My procedure was a success and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Dr. Ambay, it truly was a pleasant experience.

EXCELLENT Based on 139 reviews Posted on Lorilyn Mowery2025-09-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to update my review of Dr. Ambay. In full disclosure, I'm a retired nurse and actually was honored to be trained in the special post op care of Dr. Ambay's DIEP patients. Through taking care of many of his patients in the hospital, I came to know him very well. So, although I had been thinking about a mommy make over for some time, when I pulled the trigger and made my consultation appointment, Dr. Ambay was the only one I made an appointment with. He spent as much time as I and my husband needed and we set the wheels in motion to move forward. Within a few days from my consultation appointment, I had my diagnostic mammogram and received the dreaded news that I had lobular invasive breast cancer in my left breast. At that time my mommy make over was put on hold. My world changed from excitement for my new future body to panic over what to do. I ended up having a double mastectomy (breast amputation). Dr. Ambay was extremely supportive and helped me like a family member make my care decisions to include immediate reconstruction with implants. I trusted him fully, I had so much on my mind I was overwhelmed. I trusted him so much that I realized after that there were so many questions I should have asked that never came to mind at the time. Dr. Ambay spent the entire day at the hospital with me in the OR and was able to work with my surgeon to minimize my surgical time. He made sure my incisions where under my breast fold instead of across the middle of my breast. It's not really a reconstruction at this point because you can't reconstruction what's not there. He recreated both breast from nothing and made them perfectly symmetrical and the proper proportion for my future body as I was still hoping for the tummy tuck surgery at that point. After recovering from my breast surgery, I was able to continue with the rest of my surgery. My breast surgery was July 2nd 2024 and my tummy tuck, muscle repair, hernia repair (i didn't even know I had), and some liposuction was done in November 2024. Everything turned out great. I can't say enough about Dr. Ambay's skills, I trust him completely, he spends the time with you that you need and he has a wonderfully caring and talented team. Thank you for everything!

I can't recommend Dr. Ambay and his team highly enough!Posted on Connor J2025-07-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Ambay and I spent a long time accessing my situation. Have had many deviated septum surgery’s with many doctors. I use to fight and had my nose broken countless times (Years ago). I’m doing a rhinoplasty with Dr Ambay to make nose more secure and less prone to breaking, breathe better and obviously look better. Once I consulted with Dr. Ambay I immediately noticed his attention to detail. He finally saw what no other doctor could. I have a complex case and we came up with a plan to execute on. The best part of Dr Ambay really is his ability to scrutinize each individual case and create a plan for it. He understands each patient is different and that a cookie cutter procedure will not work for everyone. For the first time I have found a surgeon who sees what I’ve seen but who can articulate what I can’t. I can’t say enough good things. Obviously do your research as you should on anyone… but if this is part of that research. Then I can only recommend going in for a consult. You will come out far more knowledgeable at the very least.

I recently had the opportunity to consult with Dr. Ambay for liposuction and a tummy tuck, and I couldn’t be more impressed with my experience. From the very beginning, Dr. Ambay was incredibly supportive and took the time to explain everything in great detail. It honestly felt like being in a lecture on human anatomy, where he covered everything about my body, both anatomically and physically. What really stood out to me was how he walked me through all of my options and made sure I was fully informed about the risks involved. His approach was not about pushing for a procedure, but rather educating me so that I could make the best choice for myself. He genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being, not just about the money. I highly recommend Dr. Ambay to anyone considering these procedures. He truly takes the time to ensure you are informed, comfortable, and confident in your decision. Definitely give him a try!Posted on Prima Palacio2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best consultation I ever had.

No question was left unanswered, and he made sure I felt completely informed and confident before moving forward. His honesty and straightforward communication style were so refreshing—he’s truly a straight shooter, which gave me full trust in his abilities. I left the consultation with the utmost confidence that Dr. Ambay would not only deliver the promised results but also care for me in a way no other surgeon has. If you’re looking for a surgeon with unparalleled skill, integrity, and a genuine approach, I can’t recommend Dr. Ambay highly enough.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Your Questions, Answered.
We believe everyone deserves to feel confident. Flexible financing options are available to make your procedure affordable.
Patient comfort is a top priority. For surgical procedures, a local anesthetic is used to completely numb the scalp so you should feel zero pain during the surgery itself. Non-surgical options like PRP injections may cause mild, brief discomfort, while laser therapies are generally painless.
Surgical hair restoration (i.e. transplanted follicles) gives permanent results because those grafts are genetically resistant to typical hair loss. Non-surgical treatments (like PRP or lasers) can produce significant improvements in thickness, shedding, and hair health, but often require maintenance treatments to sustain results.
Timeline depends on the method used. After surgical hair transplantation, most patients begin to see new hair growth in 3-4 months, with more substantive density and appearance by 9 months to a year, and full maturation often around 12-18 months. Non-surgical therapies may show improvements in thickness and shedding sooner (a few months), though full effects accumulate over time.
Dr. Ambay offers both surgical and non-surgical hair restoration options:
Surgical: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), robotic-assisted hair transplantation
Non-surgical: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, low-level laser therapy, and other regenerative / adjunctive treatments
Recovery varies by procedure. Non-surgical treatments (e.g. PRP, lasers) have little to no downtime — many patients return to day-to-day activities immediately. For surgical procedures such as FUE, most people can resume non-strenuous activity within a few days. Full recovery (including visibility of results) continues over months as new grafts settle and grow.
