Dr. Chenwi Mfobefu Ambe, MD

I would not even rate him 1 star. Underwent a surgical procedure based on his incorrect diagnosis. Condition did not improve and worsened 30 days post op. Was advised by Dr. Ambe that I needed the same surgery again but a wider area removed. Sought second opinion on my own and underwent proper medical workup for a much different condition and diagnosis. Underwent correct surgery with a much more competent MD and on the road to recovery.

Dr. Ambe performed a cyst removal in his office, leaving an open, bleeding, wound that would not close. He refused to see until it closed. It never closed. After 1.5 years I am about to undergo corrective surgery for this botched surgery . Please do not use this surgeon!

The doctor is either unaware of what recovery entails after a surgery or knew what I would experience and purposely kept me in the dark. I had skin cancer removed from my calf. He told me before the surgery that I would be able to walk afterwards and did not tell me any restrictions that I may face. After the surgery, while in the post-op room he once again told me I could immediately walk. That was not the case! I had to use a walker for a week. Followed by a cane for 5 days. It took 2 weeks for me to be able to drive. I told him about this in my follow up, hoping he would take the criticism so that future patients would not have the same horrible experience that I had. Instead he said "Well you don't have a cane with you." Please look up "Valley Surgical Specialists" when doing a google review before seeing this doctor. Another patient had a similar experience. Unfortunately I didn't do enough research before my surgery.

Dr Ambe cared for my husband for two months while he was in the hospital. I would recommend him for any one that needed surgery. He is caring, kind, polite, and through. He explains things and incredibly nice.

I strongly recommend Dr. Ambe! I had to go to the ER due to my appendix, which Dr. Ambe ended up removing with no complications and very minimal "recovery pain" that lasted maybe a day or so. He also came to my room to release me at the time he said he would.
