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. Ambrosio is an excellent physician: he is compassionate, a great listener, intelligent and knows his practice well. I have had the honor of working with him as a patient the last 2 years. During that time he believed in the care that he felt I should have even when others did not. He continued to press forward and did not give up. He believes in the care he gives his patients and will go the 'extra mile'; he is persistent in ensuring the best outcomes possible. He explains procedures and outcomes succinctly and in a manner that is understandable. Often one department doesn't reach out to another department who is also providing care to the same patient. Dr. Ambrosio does and is not threatened and looks more at a collaborative model and wants to work as a team which in the end results in the best healthcare outcome as it was in my case. He is the best model for a healthcare giver!

Great Doctor and Surgeon
Dr. Ambrosio helped me with getting reconstructive facial surgery after an accident. He was caring and kind, but beyond that he did an amazing job at putting my face back together the way it was. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Ambrosio is one of a kind! He cared for our 5 yr old son as if it was his own child, and we can’t thank him enough for that. It’s nerve wrecking when it’s your child having to be looked at, but Dr. Ambrosio would take his time and explain everything in detail. He has an outstanding background so we knew our little guy would be taken care of during surgery. The surgery went so well and our little guy had no side effects from the lymph node removal. He even gave Dr. Ambrosio a big hug thanking him! That speaks volume with a 5 year old likes the doctor!

Excellent surgical experience
In April of 2022, our 10 yr. old daughter had her tonsils and adenoids removed by Dr. Ambrosio. He was exceptional throughout the surgical course. He eased our surgery day anxiety by taking the time to answer all our questions and our daughter's questions and concerns. He kept us informed immediately after surgery and checked on us several times before leaving for the day. Before leaving, he made sure we knew exactly what to expect for our daughter's recovery. The next few days after surgery went exactly as he described and he called several times to make sure our daughter was doing well. Our daughter recovered well and had no complications. Dr. Ambrosio is a great surgeon, however I feel his friendly, caring, professional bedside manner makes him an all around exceptional physician. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ambrosio.

Dr. Art Ambrosio is more than a reliable and exemptional surgeon. He would answer all my questions and would assist me in finding answers. Dr. Ambrosio was always a good listener and would adhere to my concerns. His attention to detail and obvious concern about my health made our visits that much more comfortable. My appreciation for his help is difficult to put into words. I would highly recommend him to family and friend and have done so already.

Dr. Ambrosio is an exceptional Physician/Surgeon! He has been taking care of me since 2018. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. His most admirable trait, to me, is his personal approach in my care. Every time I see or talk to him I strongly feel his genuine assurance that I am and will be under the best care possible. If I have any questions, he listens intently and answers them until I'm satisfied or at peace. He dedicates enough time to be with me until I understand everything about my care. I consider myself blessed to have Dr. Ambrosio as my Physician.

Dr. Ambrosio is one of the most caring and professional doctors I've ever come across. Most importantly, he listens to your concerns and doesn't rush you. He takes his time and uses his knowledge to find the best course of action and medical care. I had a locally aggressive tumor that was missed on a previous MRI and once it was discovered, he made sure that the right team of Doctors were involved to go about it the safest and most effective way possible. He was very nurturing and attentive and

I feel very lucky to be Dr. Ambrosio's patient! I underwent repair to my septum and enlargement of my sinus openings and nasal turbinates...game changer. For the first time in YEARS, I can breath fully through the left side of my nose, and the facial pain & sinus pressure I felt nearly daily is essentially gone at this point. I feel like I am in the greatest of hands. I had a lot of questions and Dr. A made himself very accessible via email, which I greatly appreciated. A true professional.

Dr. Ambrosio performed a septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and BMTT on me at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton on 4/20/17, and I'm so glad he was the doctor to perform the procedures! Dr. Ambrosio is educated, thorough, professional, and extremely personable. He informed me every step of the way what each phase would entail and what I should expect as well as always making sure my questions were answered. He made sure I was comfortable and informed. I recommend him to everyone who needs an ENT.

Anytime I ever had a question about my recovery I could contact him and he always responded in a timely manner. I have recommended him to my family members as well.
