Oren Ambalu, MD

Dr. Ambalu is an exceptional pain doctor who has truly transformed my life. After suffering with severe, debilitating back pain for many years and trying countless treatments from various doctors with little relief, only Dr. Ambalu was able to help me reclaim a full, active life. He is incredibly professional, attentive, and always listens carefully to my concerns, making me feel heard and respected at every visit. The most important thing is that Dr. Ambalu gave me the greatest gift—the ability to live without constant pain. I am deeply grateful for his expertise and compassionate care, and highly recommend him to anyone struggling with chronic pain.

I saw Dr Ambalu in Poughkeepsie office at MidHudson Regional Hosp approx 2 months ago. I was told to arrive 15 min early, which is common for a new patient appt. Well....I sat in the waiting room for just about 1.5 hrs. Then I was called into the back by Jean who did my vitals and sent me back to waiting room till he was ready for me. 15 min later I was called into that same room. When Dr Ambalu strolled in there was no apology for making me wait. Nothing mentioned. I have a pretty extensive medical history but my "new patient" appt lasted only 15 minutes. He explained only one procedure but didn't tell me that it could make my symptoms worse or that it probably last only 6 months, if that long and then it would have to be performed again. I will say I give Cindy, his office manager, all the kudos in the world. She is just as kind with the 1st phone call as the 10th...she has the patience that I wish I had! Cindy tried to get me into see him asap, which I appreciated at the… time.
